February 7, 2024 Wind, rain, and wood peckery. A small herd of javelina grunts and rummages in the compost pile...again. I should send them on their way, but I can’t take my eyes off a gorgeous Arizona woodpecker that returns the stare. A pair of the Mexican birds has been hammering the oaks all winter. I know them by their sound, a rapid-fire drumming, a vibration that rattles my teeth unlike the common ladderback and acorn woodpeckers.
Glad to learn the Elf Owls get another season but I wonder if they will ignore the new (and beautiful) box if their usual hole is still available. Guess time will tell.
Great news on the owls 🦉
Great post about the community coming together.
Congrats to you, your neighbors and the elf owls 🦉🦉 Such a lovely outcome !
Yay for the owls and the humans!
P.S. You have baby reds already?
