I haven't been able to observe the culprit who's been hard at work on one of the fir trees on our property but I have a pretty strong suspicion ..
Pretty low for a nesting spot? Bugs? This early? Anyways old Woody is making short work of the soft wood.
And it looks like we dodged a bullet on the snowstorm forecast for this weekend..lots of room for snow out in The Atlantic Ocean..50's in the forecast for later on this coming week..almost time to start doing springtime boat chores...
Looks like a pileated woodpecker
ReplyDeleteYes it is but I haven't been able to get a photo of him yet..thanks for the comment..
DeleteAmazing how powerful a woodpeckers neck muscle must be to deliver that kind of chisel work to wood.
ReplyDeleteI had a few to frequent some of my bird feeders this winter; instead of eating the bird food they spent time trying to figure out why they couldn't blunt holes in the metal on the feeders, finally gave up trying. Hope you get out on the water soon---thanks for sharing
They are fascinating to watch Bill..and we most certainly are anxiously waiting for a warm up so I can get the boat out of storage..thanks!
