Branch of Thought
This red-bellied woodpecker (Melanerpes carolinus) looks like he is deep in thought, pondering the day's events.
As I've mentioned, I have a gallery of my favorite photos at: https://swede1952-photographs.pixels.com
Go there and take a look. Prints are for sale along with other doodads and I suppose it is kind of a business for me. But it's the kind of business where I don't care whether I sale anything or not. If you want something, by all means you are welcome to make a purchase. But I just want you to visit and maybe mark your favorites or leave a comment. Cheers 😄

By 30, your face should be a knife.
By 30, you should have a barbed tongue longer than your arm.
By 30, you should be able to slam your head into a tree 20 times per second.
By 30, you should be able to withstand an acceleration of 1,400 g’s.
By 30, you should be a woodpecker.

Red-bellies are rarely seen touching the ground. But a kernel of food on such a day, makes a bird do strange things.

What are some local birds you can find where you live? 🐦 As always, thanks for all the love on my birdie necklaces! These take me long to make, so your support is the best motivation! 🎃
There are still birdies looking for a nest on my shop 🍄 The chain, rings and clasps are made for stainless steel, so babes with sensitive skin should be safe 🖤 You can find them here guys!!
Alsoooo, this was my first time making acrylic necklaces too. I wanted to give these a try since there are some limitations with what I can do with the clay pendants and I already have so many ideas I want to try with acrylics too 👀

Finally finished redesigning my headcanon line up of Sonic Flickies using the old Sonic 3D Blast designs as the foundation.
Each one is partially based off a real bird:
Blue flicky: parakeet
Pink flicky: hummingbird
Green flicky: kakapo
Red flicky: woodpecker
I plan to have another post with more information in the style of a nature journal going into detail about each species of flicky and some other fun world building bits related to other sonic characters. Hope you enjoy! :)

I keep track of intergrade Northern Flickers in my yard because I have so many I'm constantly tripping the ebird filter on the counts. Here are the individuals for this winter so far that I can distinguish.
Northern Flickers typically are either Red-shafted (North America west of the Rocky Mountains) or Yellow-shafted (North America east of the Rocky Mountains) but there's a large zone of overlap where they interbreed. The offspring are known as intergrades, not hybrids, because they're still the same species but a mix of subspecies types.
