Today I met this lovely little female Hairy Woodpecker (at least that’s who I think she is). She wasn’t concerned about my presence in the least and let me get quite close, film her to be able to share her with you, and just hang out with her for quite a while. Amazing creatures, can you imagine spending your days banging holes in wood with your head—the strength in her neck and beak is remarkable! This is a Larch tree she is working away on, in my forest here in the Slocan Valley, BC Canada
