The 5/8 Bees don’t actually do damage, but the hungry Pileated Woodpecker, hunting for tasty tidbits, does. I caught this one pecking on the fascia boards. When he noticed me, he flew away, but I could hear him again, from inside the house, a few minutes later. The fascia board is 2″X 8″ so you can tell the size of this Woodpecker. He is small for his species, so is perhaps young or a she. ⓒ Bearspawprint 2014

Simple Simon went a hunting
For to catch a Dickie Bird.
He thought he could not fail,
For he had got a little salt,
To put upon it’s tail.

That is amazing we have not heard that one in England ours goes
Simple Simon met a Pie man going to the fair
Said Simple Simon to the Pieman let me taste your wears!
Said the Pieman unto Simon show me first your penny. Simple Simon told the Pieman Sir I have not any!

Simple Simon met a Pieman
Going to the fair;
Said Simple Simon to the Pieman,
“Let me taste your ware.”
Said the Pieman to Simple Simon,
“Show me first your penny.”
Said Simple Simon to the Pieman,
“Indeed I have not any.”
Simple Simon went a hunting,
He thought he could not fail,
For to catch a Dickie Bird,
For he’d got a little salt to put upon his tail.
Simple Simon went to ride upon
A spotted cow, that had a little calf;
She threw him down upon the ground,
Which made the people laugh.
Simple Simon went to look
If plums grew upon a thistle.
He pricked his fingers very much,
Which made poor Simon whistle.
Simple Simon went a-fishing,
For to catch a whale;
But All the water he had got,
Was in his mother’s pail.
He went for water in a sieve,
But soon it all ran through,
And now poor Simple Simon
Bids you all adieu.
