Just a short video of footage that I captured of a woodpecker family.

from fairly odd parents episode lovestruck

In the cartoon, Woody (voice of Mel Blanc) stays behind to swim while the other birds in the forest migrate south for the winter. Just after the other birds leave, the cold of winter sets in instantly,   more...to the point that Woody's swimming hole freezes instantly solid just after he jumps in ("Must be hard water", he remarks). Woody doesn't worry, because he's stored up plenty of food. However, a snow storm enters his house and makes off with all of his possessions, food included.

Two weeks later, a title card informs the audience that "his food all gone, starvation stares Woody in the face!" Cut to a shot of Woody, seated at his dinner table, having a staring (and cackling) contest with "Starvation", personified as something vaguely resembling the Grim Reaper. A month later, a hungry cat happens upon Woody's cabin, and conspires to eat the woodpecker. The famished Woody, however, plans just as quickly to eat the cat, and the two spend much of the remainder of the short trying to decapitate, bake, broil, and season each other. After several minutes of battling, a moose appears in the forest, and the starving cat and woodpecker chase after it, kill it, and eat it.

Sitting near a pile of moose bones with full bellies, Woody and the cat appear content. However, the cat looks over at Woody and remarks, "Y'know, I'm still hungry." "Yeah," replies Woody, "so am I!" Brandishing knives, the two go right back at each other's throats as the cartoon fades to its end title credits.  less

Woodpecker (I think) in Vermont. Sorry about the camera movement. Too much zoom without a tripod.

Pretty sure that mouse was still alive when it was swallowed whole.

I want to share with you a place I truly love. It's on the Bruce Penninsula, between Lake Huron and Georgian Bay. I always dread the 7-7 1/2 hour drive, but once I get there and get outside with my camera,   more...the weary traveller disappears and is replaced by the nature lover. You'll see why. Welcome to my Parents' backyard. This one stars, in no particular order: Monarch Butterfly, Ruby-Throated Hummingbird, Chipping Sparrow, Chickadees, Rose-Breasted Nuthatches, Red Squirrel, Cottontail Rabbit, Chipmunks, Hairy Woodpecker, Robins, and the Bluejay.  less

Aww. So cuddly.

A Beatiful Bluejay sneaks some bird seed from my deck.
Actually, all he wanted were the peanuts (Fussy Bird)

this is why you always see signs that say please don't feed the birds.
