A Coat of Many Feathers: Woodpecker: This jacket is a tribute to the many black, white and red woodpeckers that grace our countryside. From the  tiny downy who visits my feeder in the winter to the crow sized pileated I hear hammering on the trees in the summer, and the sapsuckers and red-headed in between, their graphic patterns are strikingly beautiful
