Tongue wrapped around seed
Proud Pilated Woodpecker
Perfect bite to chomp

  I made a short trip up to Bellingham combining several things....got a hair cut while there, stopped by for a short hello to Connections and Philpo and their resident birds, and then visited Peggy and met her cousin from Colorado who took over caretaking role the past couple weeks.  It snowed in the higher levels where they all live so I enjoyed a peek at the snow along Padden Lake too.  I'll put one from Padden in the extras
    Dismayed of news that Portland police are getting militant making arrests of immigrants...saw that sick news on Kendell's blip. see here. Heard some other rump alternate fact junk on the radio up and down to Bham...in between listening to Dixie Chicks  which was better for my heart.
