Now behold, there was a man named Zacchaeus who was a chief tax collector, and he was rich. And he sought to see who Jesus was, but could not because of the crowd, for he was of short stature. So he ran ahead and climbed up into a sycamore tree to see Him, for He was going to pass that way. And when Jesus came to the place, He looked up and saw him, and said to him, “Zacchaeus, make haste and come down, for today I must stay at your house.” (Luke 19:2-5 NKJV)
Maybe the Weasel, like Zacchaeus, thought Jesus was going to come by and he wanted to get a better look.

Most unusual sighting, Woodpecker Airlines, it would be interesting to see how the passenger alights. What a unique photo!

How extraordinary. Great photography by that gentleman. Thanks for sharing this. I read the article and I’m also glad the woodpecker escaped.

Wow! What a photograph! But that weasel won’t forget that ride for a long time! Bet he’ll think twice before pouncing on a woodpecker! again. Thankfully the woodpecker’s flight succeeded in his ultimate escape.
