Limbs to pick up and holes in our trees.

We are in Montreat this week.

Lots of limbs fell during the winter. Looks like the ice storms and snow storms cleaned out the broken, and dead branches from our woods.

One of our neighbors here is the pileated woodpecker. One of the things this large, amazing bird does is drill large holes into trees. We hear this bird more than we see it. It makes a loud knocking sound when it is drilling these holes. Also it makes a loud call, they say "Woody Woodpecker" is patterned after this bird both for his looks and his call.
