…actually, more of a flash flood. Not good when it’s thundering during the National Anthem.

Wilson scored 1:40 into the game giving them a 1-0 lead. Madison held them scoreless for the next 98 minutes, which included 4 OTs. Ivy Jacobs scored a little over 10 mintues into the second half off of a perfectly placed free kick from Ashley Sealander. The game stayed tied through the four overtimes and was finally decided on penalty kicks. An exciting game to watch, just didn’t end the way we Mountaineers had hoped.

Dryocopus pileatus I always called them red headed woodpeckers, but apparently that’s not accurate. And from what I could find, this must be a female. The male has a red strip under his beak.
She liked looking at herself in my truck window. She was there all morning.
