It is tea time in the treehouse
There is a hedgehog entertaining a rat
They hear some loud jackhammering
Rat-a-tat-a-tat-tat-tat!
Is that a redheaded woodpecker? Asks the hedgehog, mad.
Don’t know says the rat, but this drumming makes me feel sad.
The woodpecker’s beak came in through the outside wall.
What is going on in there? His voice was loud and tall.
It is teatime said the hedgehog. You are welcome to come in.
I need a little help first, said the woodpecker. Can you push my chin?

“SQUAWK, Squawk, squawk” ,the Bald Eagle’s song of Freedom, Liberty and Serenity
bird Houses, in my backyard are filled with baby Chickadees , Whining , is their Song
If they Knew by the end of Summer, in stillness before the Rain: Phoebe - Tranquility
the clouds Thicken and Blacken : the Chickadee puffs her chest, sings Phoebe song
The rain softly Crying a Phoebe’s resounding echoes , Chickadees, duel Ability
the sky is blue: the wind is calm: a single Phoebe "warning" believe in Her Validity
His Bright Red Plumage
He can not hide from my Eyes
Tapping and rapping, His song
There’s no Special beat
A Redheaded Woodpecker
Tap, Tap, Tap, Rap, Raps his Song
So close sits this Robin beside me
No Songs, just the Promise of Spring
