breakfast birding


Now that the trees are nearly bare I have an almost clear view of my neighbour's lovely white house with cupola. My neighbour is a very nice woman who also happens to be the mother/in law of a famous artist/pop star couple. I just hope she does not get the wrong idea when she sees me regularly in the window with my binoculars. Today at breakfast, I could have sworn I saw the Ivory- billed Woodpecker. After being talked down by my birding contractor, he assured me it was actually the Pileated version. The bird is somewhere in the background of this photo and although it is impossible to tell, he is large and loud. Thrilling actually.
