Now I can start seeing the first signs of spring. Some of the pussy willows are already starting, and the red currents are juuust beginning to pry their way out of the bud casings. Little red fingers of petals reaching for the sun... The woodpeckers are busy, too. From the size, it must be the pileated woodpeckers. This handiwork was accomplished within a couple of days, resulting in large holes into the center of the trunk, and a pile of fresh shavings on the ground.
