Treebeard continues his recuperating and is behaving himself nicely.  So nicely, in fact, that I allowed him to take a short walk out in the sunshine yesterday.  I had to keep an eye on him though - he isn't supposed to lean his head down and we had to navigate under several spider webs along the trail.  It's kinda hard to limbo with your head up :)
The tail feather above is from either a downy (
Picoides pubescens) or a hairy (
Picoides villosus) woodpecker.  Woodpecker tail feathers are quite stiff, providing support as the bird makes its way up a tree.
