" First you wanna kill me, now you wanna kiss me. Blow".
" But what of all those sweet words you spoke in private"?
"Oh that's just what we call pillow talk, baby, that's all. ".
"Are all men from the future loud-mouthed braggarts"?
"Nope. Just me baby...Just me".
Sorry was watching one of my favorite DVDs the other day and it is infectious. I bet there are some of you out there that can guess what the movie is.
After shooting the cardinals I spotted a pileated woodpecker. I followed him around a while but he would not hold still long enough for me to get a pic. I was getting cold so I walked back to the visitors center to warm up. I was sitting by the big picture windows watching the nuthatches, chickadee, juncos, and woodpeckers at the feeders when all of a sudden BOOM they all scattered. Then I saw the reason. 
A sharpie flew in and landed on the branches above the feeder.
A couple of times he took off and chased one of the chickadees around but each time he returned to his post empty handed.
Meanwhile I was taking pictures of him through the glass.
I don't like shooting through glass but when I tried to go outside and get some pics I found that I could not get a good angle on him with out going into the feeder area. The birds where already stressed enough with the cold weather and a predator hanging around, with out having me trampling up their feeding area. So I opened up my aperture and shot as best as I could through the windows.
After a while the sharpie flew off over top of the visitors center.
And with in minutes the chickadees, nuthatches, juncos, and woodpeckers returned to their feasting.
