PILEATED WOODPECKER EATING CRABAPPLES

 EUROPEAN LARCH ON TENTH ST.

WOODS ACROSS TENTH ST. FROM OUR HOUSE

Friday, 9:00 AM.  32 degrees at the ferry dock, 31 on the back porch.Wind variable and calm.  The sky is overcast and foggy and it has been snowing, about 2" of sticky, heavy stuff at this point.  The humidity is 94%, the barometer is bottoming out, currently at 29,92".  The forecast calls for warmer temperatures this afternoon (which should melt the snow) and for much warmer temperatures Sunday and Monday, then getting colder again, with a wintry mix of skies and weather into the following week.

   Yesterday afternoon the pileated woodpecker returned to the crabapple tree on the south side of the house to feast on the crabapples. He is becoming a frequent visitor, and is loosing some of his shyness.
   I hope the video works, I'm new at some of this stuff.
   They're ba...ck.
