Surrounded by Nature, Howard enjoys a glass of wine on a peaceful mid-summer's evening while reciting some lines of poetry to the LambWatch webcam. Next morning two woodpeckers are spotted having a conversation over breakfast on the birdfeeder!
Happy Father's Day!
Its great how you remember all the poetry so well Howard and the little lamb looks like it understands every word. I could never learn poetry but I like to listen to the works of famous poets. Hope to hear more poetry soon. I don't think that I have ever seen two woodpeckers on the feeder at the same time - they were certainly enjoying their breakfast chat.

My dad was also very fond of reciting poetry. Considering he was 91 it was quite a feat that he remembered poetry, considering he forgot a lot of other things. He could even recite them with the appropriate accent. Funny what stays with you all your life. I can still recite "Once more unto the breach" from Shakespeare's Henry V which we had to learn at school. Where I put the car keys five minutes ago however is a complete mystery!

Those sheep certainly do know their shepherd's voice, and follow him like pets. As for two woodpeckers, I wonder if one of these is a juvenile, being given lessons on how to eat from a feeder. A very beautiful clip to watch. Thanks, Dan.

I hope you enjoyed a happy Father's Day Howard after your peaceful time in the Lambwatch field last night with the lambs and sheep and listening to the various sounds of the evening. I was just about to close down my laptop when I heard your voice and was so glad to listen to your observations and recitation and to watch the lamb by your side. God bless.
