Woodpecker
Thursday Apr 28, 2005
I have a new neighbor. He doesn't pay taxes or even own property.
Before I get to that, I must say that I love animals. I'm the idiot who watches that rescue show on animal planet and gets really upset with how cruel people are to animals. But back to my little problem.
The new neighbor is actually a woodpecker in my woods. I'm a light sleeper and this thing's pecking is starting to make me mad. (Mad as in crazy, like my UK coworkers say.) I did some searching on woodpeckers and was surprised to see how many different kinds there are. I couldn't figure out what type is pecking away in the early morning hours in my woods. I did learn that the red-cockaded woodpecker is on the US endangered species list. That bird lives in the Southeast US and I live in the Northeast US. PHEW! Why am I relieved? "Migration: This type of woodpecker does not migrate."
