It wouldn't be so bad, but we planted those trees and want them to stay alive. The trees provide shade and take so long to grow. The bird gets mad and swoops me when I go out to take his picture. It is the price he must pay for killing my trees. Later in the day I saw the Downy Woodpecker and the Northern Flicker. <br />

He was excited to see the bird and did not want to make noise shutting the car door and used his hand to quiet the noise (really it was the wind caught it too quickly).<br />
