No surprise, there were only 2 sites to choose from—but I got a good one. :-) I don't ordinarily watch sports, but I did watch the game tonight with a group of Oregon friends—cannot believe the Ducks lost by one point!! I know you're happy, but Eric is not. I'll wait until tomorrow to ask him your woodpecker ID question....hehe.Laurel (www.ravenandchickadee.com)https://www.blogger.com/profile/09133248112440273123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4309293625176086078.post-69024229136097896432017-04-01T23:38:53.985-04:002017-04-01T23:38:53.985-04:00The spring is beautiful!

Al has the game recorded. My cousin Anne went to school in Chapel Hill and of course is a fanatic as well. She and her wife live here in Key West now and can be seen riding around on their light blue scooter wearing light blue tshirts! Great photos of the turkey. Mr. Baxter says if you run into any loose tail feathers, he'd appreciate you sending it to him. He has so much fun with turkey feathers, but has worn his out.

Wonderful green heron - their colors always look like a mountain cabin to me. My youngest was so afraid of turkeys and looking at their faces close up I remember why :-) Still, they are marvelous creatures and I'm sure are very appealing to each other.
