Dead Trees Next Door

This used to be the view from my living room window ~ minus the dude on the tree. Now the dead trees are gone! The view still looks good ~ minus all the woodpeckers that loved these three dead trees. And I miss scanning the trees for the peckers as I sip my morning coffee. On a cheery note, a pair of black-capped chickadees have taken residence in one of the bird houses in the yard :)
