I had a million things to do when I got home last night. I had made a list and everything. I rushed around the house gathering things and organizing for the days ahead. As I scurried around I heard a red bellied woodpecker call and call and call. I see the red bellied woodpecker all the time so I didn't stop to admire it on my peanut feeder. But the woodpecker kept calling again and again and again. I wondered if maybe there was a youngster waiting in a tree for the parent to bring it a peanut. The woodpecker called steadily for another two minutes so I put my things down and went to look out the window. Oh, now I see why the woodpecker was calling me to come to the window! On the oriole feeder next to the peanut feeder was a Baltimore oriole gobbling down generic grape jelly. Totes awesome! Thank you, red bellied woodpecker, for calling me to see this wondrous sight. I can't think of any other reason for that woodpecker to call because as soon as I saw the oriole, the bird went silent.
