Alright, I hear some of my friends snickering already. And to the Fearless One, it has nothing to do with that. This is about the red headed beast that has decided that our chimney top is akin to a tree but sounds like a series of small explosions when he begins his morning routine.
Exactly what is it about the metal cap on our chimney that attracts a Woodpecker? I mean seriously, it doesn't even come close to resembling a tree trunk. Is this the domain of a mentally defective bird or is there really something about the metal cap that birds find appealing? Maybe it is the sound. Or maybe it is the fact that it drives the inhabitants of the domicile crazy. It is possible that birds could be that vindictive? Even it that were true, I have done nothing to attract the ire of this particular bird.
Well there was the time last year when I saw him working a dead tree in our wetlands and I called him Woody. Surely he would not take such offense that he would launch an assault on our peaceful mornings. Well, whatever the reason, I hope he finds a real tree and moves along soon. I have enough trouble sleeping in and don't need his help waking in the mornings.
