Dryocopus pileatus

~~🐦🐦‍⬛🪶 “Many critics are like woodpeckers, who, instead of enjoying the fruit and shadow of a tree, hop incessantly around the trunk, pecking holes in the bark to discover some little worm or other." ― Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

________________~~🦅🕊️

Hammering echoes

through the woodlands; they chisel

rectangular holes

🪶

Big, crow-sized bodies

their laughing calls inspired

Woody Woodpecker's
