That is unusual for me to look up that high without any noise. There's an old dead tree that the city has cut off right where I head home. I just happened to glance up and see that beautiful shiny red head (usually just spot the red bellied woodpeckers). Could have taken shots forever - he just wandered around the top.
This is great. Did you notice the tracks from the emerald ash borer that killed this tree? Those curvy lines near the bottom. The ash borer has been a disaster for our ash trees, but the woodpeckers are benefiting.
@annepann I didn't know what those were - how interesting! There are two of these trees next to each other and I'll have to see if they have those tracks, too. I bet they do.
