Dad and I stopped on the way across 299 in a rest area to play dominoes and this little fellow landed in a tree above us. He was so pretty...blue with a black head and tail, top notch on his head and a beak that was at least 1 inch long. I thought he might be a woodpecker. He stayed for about 20 minutes until 2 crows came and scared him away. We are in a motel in Weaverville this evening after a Roundtable salad and wings for dinner.
