Yesterday he told me that bluejays pick up hundreds of ants and tuck them under their wings to eat the mites there. I thought he was kidding me, like he does the guys at work when he tells them my name is Dixie. But he swore it was true and that you wrote about it. P.S. I put a link on my Facebook page to this blog. Mike is still hogging your book, but he does share fascinating tidbits.

The other day while walking my dog in the park, I saw a huge red headed woodpecker. My neighbor told me that woodpecker used to hang out at her house but was doing damage to her deck so she had to hang a fake snake to scare it away. She said it was a rare woodpecker. Now, I take my camera with me on my dog walks in hopes of seeing that woodpecker again and snapping its picture. This is going to be fun…talking to you about bird experiences.
