Injured woodpecker is still here ......

Just to keep up with the woodpecker saga, he is still here and seems a bit better. He is something to watch and I do watch way too much. That's what happens if you're retired! Yesterday (Monday) he showed me how he is getting around from tree to tree. He climbs way to the top of one, then throws himself out and into the air - drifting/gliding over to another. So far he seems to stay in the fenced part of the yard. He has been eating in the trees and looks OK. Its been really windy for three days now. He continues to get blown about, but doesn't seem any worse for wear. Today I also saw signs of improvement, when another woodpecker came from around the tree to eat suet. "Woody" got real upset and very aggressive, taking off up the tree after the smaller bird. I have prayed that God will keep him safe until he recovers. Never hurts to say a little prayer. HE has done a good job with my request.

What great pilots!

This afternoon as many of you know by now, a plane loaded with passengers, hit a flock of Canadian geese on take off. Very quickly the pilots had one engine down and the other on fire. Trying to turn around was not an option, so this pilot headed for the Hudson River. The route is completely over the city and could so easily have become a horrible catastrophe. They brought this plane down perfectly, landing if you will, on the river! Ferry boats, police boats and private boats were on the scene immediately. Not one life was lost. The plane remained intact.
