Persistence

Adjustments.jpeg

This photo reminded me of this quote from Calvin Coolidge:

“Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent.”

Widow Shopping?

Teresa took this photo of this Downy Woodpecker doing some window shopping. I have to wonder if he can’t figure out how to get to his dinner. Very cute.

Out For Dinner

It has been a while since I saw a Downy Woodpecker. We actually saw more than one, but it was difficult to get a good count. They were eating at this feeder at Big Woods. Cold weather .. eat out for dinner.

Where Are The Bugs?

The rain has slowed down. Now for the warmer temperatures to come back. We saw this woodpecker searching for bugs in the trees yesterday. She was really going at it.

Bug Hunting

We saw this Downey Woodpecker earlier this week while hiking Maple Ridge. She was dancing her way up and down the trees, looking for bugs to eat. It was cute.
