Woodpiles can be
magical if you're a birdwatcher. Birds hide in them, perch on them, feed near
them, sing from them.Take the one in back of Northwood, for instance. Most
weeks in winter we make a stop there during the Saturday morning walk. Today
two Carolina Wrens, often such skulkers, were perched on top if it, heads
thrown back and throats visibly vibrating, singing loudly as only Carolina
Wrens can. Seven White-throated Sparrows arranged themselves on the limbs
below, looking for all the world like an appreciative audience.
