THE PECKERS ARE STILL UP

Just a brief update. Back in the spring I reported on our new "tenants'", a pair of red-headed woodpeckers, who were occupying a dead palm tree next to our house. When we returned to our home after an absence of four months, we thought they were gone: there was no sign of activity or life. Then, a couple days ago, momma stuck her head out of one of the holes and later was spied on top of the palm. HOORAY!!! We certainly did not want to lose our prized guests! It's so difficult today finding the right kind of neighbors that you want to hang on to the good ones...
