This weekend we received a red-bellied woodpecker as a backyard guest.
That’s just what they’re called. He didn’t explain the discrepancy. (The red crown distinguishes the gender, by the way.)
Look at this little guy:
One of his friends gave me my best photo yesterday, bird division:
Of course the cats like the birds. They have strategically placed spots with great sight lines of the menagerie taking place just beyond their reach and on the other side of the inexplicable transparent walls.
What must pets imagine of glass, and us?
Anyway, Phoebe is taking a break from the bird watching. She has the most intense relaxation face you can imagine:
Last month we noted that Poseidon likes to watch car chases with us. Apparently they make Phoebe a little more nervous. She couldn’t watch last week’s historic car chase.
Poseidon, meanwhile, has found himself a hammock bridge. Like he needed the help, or a new place to sleep:
Last night he decided to have a bit of water fresh from the mountain stream.
Better than the several bowls he has available to him.
More tomorrow. Check out the Instagram account that Phoebe and Poseidon run. Keep up with me on Instagram, too. And don’t forget my Twitter account.
See you there!
