| Here in Connecticut we had long bee afraid that our native Pileated Woodpeckers had disappeared also. But I can happily report that they have returned with vigor. So vigorous in fact that every spring the males have developed an annoying habit of pecking energetically any metal smoke stack that they can reach, like the one on my house for the oil burner, which the builder had failed to to cover. The stack if covered with dents from the mating rap of Woody. |
