Red Bellied Woodpecker

Another gloriously cool morning to enjoy outside! I could get used to this.

I read my book and MiniMe napped on my belly. An enjoyable morning for both of us.

There was a Carolina Wren that decided to make itself known loud and clear. It was so loud for so long it almost got annoying.

Lots of birds at the feeders including this male Red Bellied Woodpecker who is pretty much a daily visitor.

This evening, along with Kent, we attended a retirement dinner held for him at The Pilot House by his work environmental health and safety people.

The meal was great and it was wonderful to see people from other plants that I haven’t seen in a good while and especially to see a couple of people who have already retired themselves but came out for the dinner to honour Kent.
