March 3rd, 2015: Woodpecker in Flight
Woodpecker in flight, an afternoon delight...
This isn't the best picture of a Woodpecker in flight, but probably the most unique because the Woodpecker is wearing fur. Maybe not wearing fur exactly, more like carrying fur... with a weasel in it. A guy named Martin Le-May took the picture and a Jason Ward put it on twitter. Quote:
But knowing a little about weasels, I'm in the weasel riding his lunch camp.

That's incredible. I love it so much that cameras are so ubiquitous now that stuff like this is actually getting captured.
And I understand that the part of the brain devoted to vision is huge for birds and the other parts are pretty small. Maybe that's why Woody doesn't just fly upside down for a few moments. Bird brain didn't think of it. |

Ah ha, here we have proof Mr Woodpecker and Mr Weasel, were not bros on an adventure.
Mr Weasel is undeniably an agent and minion of the evil Putin. I'm glad to hear Mr Woodpecker escaped, but I worry Mr Weasel will end up in a Siberian Gulag for his failure.

What Jim said.
Weasels-on-a-woodpecker!! is my new exclamatory phrase of choice.

That weasel's brain, unfortunately for it, was smaller than the bird's. Or maybe the weasel brain is composed of too many 'Attack! Bite! Kill!' neurons and too few 'Is this really a good idea?' neurons.

Who knew weasels were so bold? I mean, sure, they are weasels, and will steal eggs and stuff, but it take a lot of self confidence to go after something bigger than you.
I love this thread. |

I suspect the Weasel/Seagull was staged. I would appear the Seagull was unable to take off and what was the Weasel doing swimming in the lake or ocean? I know they can swim but they're not generally a water animal. At the end the Weasel looked like it was heading for the boat.

These woodpeckers are brave.
The whole video is good, but the action gets going at 0:30 |
