Wood Peckers

[Striperhound]

Great Stuff Raven. This woodpecker lives in a huge 100 year old oak tree across the street. It has several holes in the tree that it frequents. I just uses my stove pipe in the am to get its groove on and let others know he is king of that neighborhood. Very interesting bird to watch just wakes up the kids.

Come down to Hobe Sound in the Spring.
The damn things use the metal telephone poles, you can hear them from several hundred feet away!!!

I have tried everything up here to discourage them not to use my stove cap as a sounding board. Fortunately it only lasts for several weeks in the spring, once it finds a 'mate' it settles down. There is nothing I have found to do to discourage them.

If you were looking for some what would you do?
