Remember this guy? I discovered him this morning, after hearing Lyra prance around in circles on the patio, searching for something. It appears the poor little fool got his claws stuck on another part of the screen, tucked away between it and the post where I couldn’t see him. I don’t know when, but I did wonder why I hadn’t seen him doing his funny stealth maneuver the past few days.
Too clever for his own good, alas.

So for the past few weeks, I had been noticing that my hummingbird feeder was emptying much more quickly than it did this past fall, draining in a week or less where before it took at least a couple of weeks. Chalking it up to high winds or hummers being hungrier in the winter, I didn’t think much of it, until today.
This woodpecker cruised up, and clung to a nearby latticework to check out the scene, then hopped right on over and, in a feat of remarkable flexibility (to me, anyway – no way I can assume that position…), helped himself to the last remaining drops of nectar.
Check out that tongue!
What a stinker – I’m torn now on whether I should fill it up again. Then again, it is rather funny, and better than him hammering away at my chimney…
-o.o-
