Watching Me Like A Hawk..err...Woodpecker

Rosie the Riveter, my neighborly Gila woodpecker (larger), stood on the top of that hummingbird feeder on this windy day for a good ten minutes.  I just watched her for the first five or so, waiting to see if she was going to pop down to get a drink of the sugar water.  

She just sat there.

Time passed while she turned her head from side to side and back to the front, just gazing at me, as if I was the one who was the stranger on my own patio.  

Eventually she flew away - never getting as much as a sip.
