Return of the Picoides villosus

 

Hairy Woodpecker

Sharp-eyed Ethan spotted this fellow/non-fellow on the nearly-dead-Ash-tree just before lunch, delaying another of Ma's infamous noon repasts by two minutes.

Seems as though I remember this guy/gal (I'm too lazy to figure it out) visiting last winter about this time, though I suppose leafless trees make them more visible. (by the date of the post, it was February of this year)

Winter seems to have come earlier than usual.
