Betty, glad the package arrived, hope the chenille will work for the snowmen.

A bit of excitement today. Hubby was out filling feeders when he saw this male Piliated woodpecker at the base of a tree. It kept trying to climb and fly and couldn\'t manage either. He carried it in, it was squawking the whole time and trying to bite him. We called DNR and an officer picked it up and was taking it to a rehabber. There were no obvious injuries and the bird was plenty strong. Something is wrong or he couldn\'t have been caught. Normally they are very shy and quick to fly away I hope we hear from rehabber how he does.
