Look what I saw!

When I walk to class in the mornings, I'm surrounded by woodsy-ness. It's really beautiful. Look what I saw today:

This is a woodpecker called the Northern Flicker. They're twice the size of a robin, so they're really big. I've had some in my yard before. They like to hang on the bird feeder similarly to the way they are hanging on this tree. It's super funny. Today I saw three of them flying and land on the side of a tree exactly like the picture. Their coloring is super cool, with those red cheeks, and semi-circle chest. These are the things that make me happy. This reminds me that I need to go get some bird feed - I just love to sit and watch them!
