Young Northern Flicker
It sat on the pole in the alleyway for quite some time. Not saying or doing much....just hanging out.
Finally a parent showed up and sat just below it for a while and then...offered it a bit of something from its beak.
The two of them sat there a bit longer and then... flew off.
Another blue sky day..we've had a lot of them lately.
But it is just too hot to do much of anything. Most days it is +30C to +32C.... you must get out early to do any physical work in the yard and garden..or go for a walk. Then, find things to do inside the house.
Of course, I don't really want to turn on the oven either ..so not much happening in the way of baking or cooking.
I may make potato salad today ..so best get some spuds peeled and steamed pretty soon...and I'll cook some chicken pieces in the electric frypan... with some nice spices..... we can eat it warm or cold with the salad for supper.... plenty good enough.
I won't complain too loud.... it will soon be -30C and I'll be whining that it is far too cold even for brass monkeys...
