For several years an Eastern Wood-Pewee has taken up the same post in the top
branches of a very old Shagbark Hickory in our front yard. For the last
couple of years he has been absent.
This morning at about 10:20 am I was looking outside on a break away from my
desk in our family office. And there he is again. In his usual spot. The sun
shining on him gave his belly and throat a yellowish tinge but I know it's him.
He's in his usual spot. I kept waiting for him to call or sing to further
identify that it is indeed him. But he was silent, sallying forth at least once
to snap up a flying insect before returning to his perch. I was able to see him
for about 20 minutes before he flew to a neighboring Shagbark Hickory and I
lost him among the branches in that tree.
But I'm glad to see him back in our yard again.
