Off the Rio Grande at the
Pecos River Texas, January
12, 2007 after 275 miles
through Big Bend National
Park and the Lower Canyons.
I was sure this Yellow-bellied Sapsucker was a goner after hitting the window - totally limp
and unresponsive when I picked him up with his head hanging. I thought for sure I'd just be
holding him while he died.
Then his eyelid flickered. I took him out into the May sunshine and shielding him from the
cold wind, let the sun warm him. As signs of life returned I had my father snap these shots.
I took the final one of him after he flew to the cherry tree and did the drawing above for fun.
