Remember the tree snapped off last spring and hit the palm I grew? Palm is sending up bloom stalks this year.
The tree still stands and is now home to a family of Pileated Woodpeckers. I've been watch 2 adults come and go since late Feb. They have been so difficult to get a picture but today I was able to snap one through the window! I think it was feeding time!
I've been reading about them. They mate for life and could possibly raise 2-3 broods per year in this area.
