I love those new bird photos & can't wait to see what you take when we go see the eagles. That's so awesome that you saw a pileated woodpecker -- I've only seen them a couple of times way deep in the woods in Minnesota.

It was only the once, but it stuck with me! Do you read Laura Erickson's For the Birds? She has a plethora of pileateds, eating suet from feeders in her yard! Amazing. https://lauraerickson.substack.com/p/birding-on-a-warmish-december-day

I'm overrun with northern flickers every morning and there are several downies as well. I love them all!

Ben Goldfarb's book on beavers is great. If you don't have it, I still have the ARC if you want it.

Thanks, Chris! I'd love to read it. I'm glad you have lots of woodpeckers there to help distract you from any peckerheads you might meet.

Great videos! 🤩 this reminded me of the book Rules for Visiting - a beautiful story about friendship and trees and “forest bathing”. I highly recommend it if you need a quiet, uplifting short novel.
