Despite consecutive days of single-digit temperatures, snow and ice covering the ground, and most of us hunkered down into "survival mode", some of the inhabitants of the mountain go about their business as though it were a bright spring day. This woodpecker and two of his family clocked in for a full workday yesterday and I hope they reaped the fruits of their labor. A perfect example of someone who DOES deserve a performance bonus!
Growing up watching Woody Woodpecker, I always thought these guys were bigger than they really are. But then, I guess they really don't talk or manipulate the behavior of humans either.
