ker!Preposterous! Well, the flicker is a woodpecker and,whether calling or drumming, he ismusical, my critic to the contrary not-withstanding. There is such a thing,too, as singing to the eye, and this theflicker does to perfection. His goldenwings, his mottled breast, his beautifulneck-band of red, his leisurely springing flight, are a part of the inner music ofNature; melodies of no tone that lightenthe soul. The flicker is the very embodiment ofthe health, the grace, the eternal youthof out-of-doors. Quick, quick, quick,quick/ is his hearty call across the hills.Cheer up! Cheer up! he says to thedowncast, to the despondent who goesinto the woods for a days tramp andtonic. And then his drum! Winterand summer he beats the march of thelusty, well-rounded life. Only a woodpecker, the huntersays who bowls him over for fun. Onlya woodpecker! How long shall weread and forget: He prayeth best who loveth bestAll things both great and small!
