Lookout Tower

There must be something wonderful about sitting on top of our chimney.  It's nearly always occupied, either by doves, woodpeckers or like today - this robin.  It was sitting up there just telling all the other birds that this was his throne. 

Occasionally a woodpecker will peck on it.  The first time I hear that  I thought the  furnace was having some kind of terrible breakdown.  Then it got quiet.  Then it started again.  Finally I decided that it wasn't the furnace, it was a woodpecker.  I'm glad they like it, I think this property really belongs to them anyway - we're just caretakers.                         Diane
