We were playing outside when I noticed one of our trees had freakishly deep squares all over it. Would you believe we had a pileated woodpecker in our yard and Matt only told me when I showed him this tree?
"Oh yes-I have seen him there quite a few times when I've gotten home from work."
Thanks alot, you stinkpot!
Well, now that I KNOW, I will keep a lookout for our shy and DESTRUCTIVE friend.
Boy, we have pileated woodpeckers here too. I hope they don't do that to our trees. They are such magnificent birds though. I love watching them, particularly because of their size.
ReplyDeleteThose birds have HUGE eyes, I am told. I have never actually seen one before, but my mom had one right outside her window. It is a little scary that a bird can make those big holes. A bear? Yes... A BIRD? No!
ReplyDeleteWow! Who knew woodpeckers could cause that much damage.
ReplyDeleteI must be overly tired because I'm giggling over that fact that as I am reading about your little woodpecker friend, the Woody the Woodpecker song just came on the radio.
