I had company this morning, while still in my PJ's - before 8:30a.m.! Have you ever held a woodpecker? I have!
Took me 60 years, lol but I can cross it off the bucket list. A Friday Morning Miracle - a hello from nature and all things wild. I heard a thunk' and saw this little guy sitting on the deck... I went out and he looked up at me as to say 'OUCH'. I was concerned because one wing was also open so I hope didn't break a wing. He let me pick him up and snuggle, speaking softly and petting his tiny head he was very relaxed... we just chilled a few moments - I took him back outside and he flew off. YAY! I've held a few wild birds in my lifetime but this was the first woodpecker!
I couldn't get good photos as it's more important not to startle my tiny feathered friend but I managed a film and took a couple of stills from it, he was not huge, just a baby woodpecker I think. It absolutely is a miracle - how many people do you know, held a woodpecker this morning? I always see them as the blessings they are meant to be. Ah, hard to top that today. lol. My canvas is coming along.. lots of detail, perhaps I'll finish it today -maybe tomorrow.
Expect Miracles! See all the miracles around us - look in the mirror and SEE Gods greatest creation - you, me.
I could feel this little bird felt safe, he knew I was not going to hurt him, we had a moment and exchanged curiosity and love for each other -I hope. I might be that birds ONLY human contact ever! I'm glad it was a pleasant experience for us both. I wonder what he's telling the others.
I already see him at the woodpecker feeder, I'm not sure what distracted him earlier to hit the glass - maybe it was the bluejays feeding... I'm grateful he is o.k & for the experience.
Tomorrow is The Chinese New Year! I have a painting - of course, the sign this year is MY sign! Only happens every 60 years and I'll be 60, next month - Of course it's going to be a fantastic year- I already held a woodpecker!
