A Rare Glimpse of The Red-headed Woodpecker

According to Wikipedia, "The red-headed woodpecker is listed as a vulnerable species in Canada and as a threatened species in some states in the US." Imagine my delight when I found this little guy on our feeder!

And then, just a day or two later, he was back!

Very cool. And I think Reezle appreciates the fact that I now get just as excited as she does about our feathered visitors.

Disclaimer

My views on traditional schooling aren't rosy, and I express my opinions on the topic regularly. That said, I don't berate parents who choose that path by choice or out of necessity. My opinions may be strong, but I will still do my best to respect yours. I believe parents should be supportive of one another, not competitive. Competition is not a goal of my blog; these are merely my opinions and experiences. The traditional public education system is broken, not the teachers, the parents, or the children.

She is in 4th grade, and her favorite subjects are science, history, and art. She wants to be a nutritionist when she grows up so she can help people prevent and reverse diseases. She plans to create a small organic farm and share some of the foods at her job as part of her “nutrition therapy” plan. Reezle also loves animals, especially cats and horses, and is always looking for ways to be involved with helping them.
