Me too Bobbie! They are huge and beautiful. I saw a couple over the Summer hammering away at a tree. You know when you hear that sound, it's Woody! Thanks

A much smaller visitor at our feeders this morning - a Redpoll. Spotted and ID'd by Rod... I missed it, but a pleasure to know they are there!

What can I say but OK, I'm on the caffeine now so all is good!
OH, my dream I had this morning was well....enough to put me away! I'm going to tell it because I'm looney enough to do so! I was in Rochester on a visit and went DT to see the falcons. Was suppose to meet up with some watchers. Couldn't find any when suddenly I hear "Hey, over here". I looked around and was shocked to find, MAK, Carol, Kathy O, Dana, Joyce, a few unknowns and "SHAKY" sitting on seats, in a tree, watching falcons, like it was no big deal. I usually remember my morning dreams and OK, I'll be packing my bags! :silly: :paperbag: NOT MY FAULT, DREAMS HAPPEN!!

The seat part is feasible but I don't think any of us could climb the tree to get to them! :laugh: I almost never remember dreams. :snore: And Bobbie I sure would love to see one of them visit my feeder! :yes:
