And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
One of the prettier woodpeckers here in the upper mid-west. I sometimes wonder about their intelligence though as they seem to have the worst dang mishaps of the woodpecker species in my experience.
I've got a pair of red bellied woodpeckers in the tree right outside. I sit outside and throw peanuts for the chipmunks, and of course the birds like to get in on it also. It's gotten so the woodpeckers are quite excited to see me coming.
We have several red-bellied woodpeckers on our property in the SC Lowcountry. They will come to our two bird feeders from time to time. The smaller birds vamoose when they feed.
Red, white, and blue, for the win.

ReplyDeleteWe got many here in NW Indiana. I leave some dead trees standing so they have a place for nesting and feeding.

ReplyDeleteWe get them at our feeder every day. They are gorgeous. They have a brilliant white back you only see when they're flying.
