Here at the Boggy Thicket, we enjoy the company of a multitude of birds, including several species of Woodpecker. When most of them are pecking at a limb they make a monotonous tat-tat-tat sort of sound, but several times over the past couple of weeks, I have heard one beat out a syncopated rhythm.
When he pecks it sounds like – Ratta-tat-tat, ta-tat, ta-tat -- Ratta-ta-tat, ta-tat.
It sounds so much like the beginning of the Aggie War Hymn, I would bet that , instead of bright red, his top-knot is definitely maroon.
