woodpecker?

The snow collects the good with the bad, as can be seen when it melts. This blog is my snow, holding onto my experiences.

woodpecker?
08.12.04 (8:28 am)   [edit]

I think we have a woodpecker attacking our house!! It was a constant rapping, and I thought someone was at the back door, but noone was, and it continued- and I swear it's in the chimney!  I don't want it there, so I jumped up and down, and banged on the wall- and it seemed to stop.  For some reason, I don't imagine woodpeckers living in this area!  Then again, about the most experience I have w/ them is watching 'Woody the Woodpecker.'


It's been chilly lately- high around 70, low in the 50s- during the day!  And it sounds really pathetic to me, because I've felt it's very nice out when it's been much colder, but maybe my body's programmed for it to be hot August- - - it just makes me want to pack my warmest clothes for school!  I think I'll make a hot breakfast today.

In Ohio, we usually have temps in the 90's this time of year. It has been very mild this summer and today the high temp will only be around 70. I love it!

you should have climbed up the chimney and tried to catch it!
Then you could have your own pet woodpecker!

although, it could be dangerous if it got mad at you and tried to systematically peck down your house . . . OR called his friends for an allout woodpecker attack! yikes.

I don't think I'd want one in my chimney either now that I think about it.

Reply to irishred: oh, yes, I prefer it to be cold over hot- winter is much more welcome than summer- but one reason I like the Midwest is the variation- it can be different day to day- - sorry, but I don't know how long I'd last in Southern California or Hawaii- even if it was the perfect temp., humidity, sun/cloud/breeze combination every day, all year- I'd want a change! 3 cheers for seasons!
Reply to Aro: no thanks- I'm happy w/ a wall between me and pecking birds- especially a whole flock of them! yikes!

I live in Hawaii and have wonderfull weather all year long but i do admit that I miss the changing seasons. Especially fall with all the changeing colors and falling leaves. Crunching the leaves as you walk in the streets. My best friend hated it when I did that.

crunching leaves is the BEST.
we usually don't get that in California, but there were some this year and I loved it.

woodpeckers are pretty common to the midwest, actually.
