I had to trake the day off, my son was too sick to go to school. While he has been sleeping it off on the couch, I've been doing some car work.
Anyway, I'm out there in this beautiful weather, working under the hood of project 93 and I hear this "tap,tap,tap" then silence. Again, "tap,tap,tap" and silence. The car isn't running. I look around and don't see anything. Again, "tap,tap,tap". I look up into the tree and I see this Scrub Jay just sitting there looking at me. "tap,tap,tap." Now I know this Scrub Jay wasn't responsible, he was sitting there looking at me and wasn't moving. "tap, tap,tap" and again, silence. Then I see it out of the corner of my eye...... a small, and I mean tiny.... woodpecker going to town on this branch of the tree. This little guy had to only be about 3 inches long, I've never seen one so tiny. He's tapping away and obviosly not getting anywhere. Funny thing was right above it was the Scrub Jay, watching over like a mother hen. I'm going to keep my camera handy so if it hangs around, I'll take a pic. It's just one of those nature oddities that makes you appreciate life and also the things you miss when you're always doing the daily work grind.
