I've been trying to get a clean shot of the woodpecker and posted a rant (of sorts) about it.

Evil Bird rant
http://www.democraticunderground.com/10362181

It is as if the bird is playing with me, taunting me.

I was sitting under the tree on Sunday (without my camera...just observing the bird) when the evil thing settled not 4 feet from me and began pecking. I just had to laugh at myself.

I'll eventually get the shot I'm looking for though.

Maybe. lol

I'm sorry you are unwell. I hope things get better.

Thank you, again.

I have always wondered, do you have to participate all 4 days Curmudgeoness Feb 2012 #22

You don't have to do all 4 days. Just whatever portion you choose to do. Solly Mack Feb 2012 #23
