Pileated Woodpecker


So what art project shall we do today, Leif? Mom, I want to make a woodpecker. A Google image search brought up several interesting kinds, but the pileated woodpecker caught his attention. How much fun is this, to use a discarded toilet paper roll, and turn it into a replica of a living creature?

If I had to do it again, I'd leave a band of white before the black on the beak part, to contrast the head from the black body. I'm sure there will be plenty of practice, we've an ostrich, a chickadee, and a rooster on deck.
