Patient. Methodical. Persistent.
A Nuttall’s Woodpecker moving along the tree, listening between each strike.
This isn’t frantic motion—

often brings more than one story.

its feathers shift with the light, flashing copper, green, and fire-red depending on the angle.

Ever seen a hawk hiding one leg and thought it was injured?
This is actually a heat-saving trick called one-legged perching.
