I thought I was looking at a black and white for 5 minutes yesterday. It was up high in a giant Ficus in my neighbor's yard. I didn't have binoculars, and it kept moving around the tree but I couldn't get a good look at it. Turned out to be a downy woodpecker. I don't think I've seen one of those in Broward in 10 years. It seems like the hawk invasion is over. Red-bellied woodpeckers, which I've been missing for a long time, I hear everyday. I saw a strike at my farm last week. Another bird missing for a decade. This is good
