You've probably not heard the joke about the two woodpeckers who walked into a bar. (As far as we know there is no such joke.)
But, now you can say that you've watched the photos of two hairy woodpeckers who landed on the Icon's suet bird feeder moments apart.
There's no such thing as sharing in this case. It was sort of territorial where winner takes all. The photos tell the story best.
Simply scroll down to watch. This episode occurs daily at the same suet bar. A couple squirrels, a sparrow and nuthatch tried mediate, but don't mess with hairy woodpeckers.
Here's members of the Bluffton High School class of 1950 as eighth graders. The photos is from the 1945-46 Buccaneer.
This students aren't "Baby Boomers." Instead, they were born in 1932-33-34 era and are children of the Great Depression. As high school graduates in 1950 they saw the 20th century at its mid-point.
Look closely and you'll see some familar faces and names. CLICK ON PHOTO TO ENLARGE IMAGE.
