Aristotle? Is that you?

Seen on a walk in the woods today. Alas, just a burl on a dead tree, not a famous philosopher. Click through for some other shots, including the strangest thing I’ve ever seen on a nature walk.

These two downy woodpeckers were chasing each other. Both males, so I think they’re rivals.

Nuthatch is one of my favorite birds.

And the strange thing: the green line runs right through these woods.
