How do birds stay warm in winter? With their downy feathers, of course — but a cozy scarf can’t hurt, either. Includes my curious discoveries on the back of each card. Blank inside.
Text on the back of this card:
One day my husband backed out the driveway and saw a giant bird on a freshly cut tree stump. “That was a big bird!” he later texted from his office.
Turns out it was a pileated woodpecker. Had we taken a closer look, we might have noticed that the holes in the stump were near-perfect rectangles. Some say the holes look crafted by a tradesperson.
I’ve learned that woodpeckers can hammer the heck out of a tree stump. They thrust their heads at a shocking 15 miles per hour. A slow motion video of this pecking motion suggests that woodpeckers must have indestructible core muscles to hurl their heads with such wicked force. Perhaps these birds strengthen their abs with… ahem… pileates.
