Irish Elk

Après le déluge

The sun returns, and with it, breaking the grackles' backyard hegemony, a Northern Flicker to the birdfeeder.

A search on Flicker at Flickr returns not only woodpeckers but the Monkey & the Frug.

Duty calls re the yard, now approaching undeveloped wetland status after a week and a half of rain.

But first: a bit of "Blue Skies" and "Bye, Bye, Blackbird" from Josephine Baker, whose charms no doubt launched a thousand French postcards.
