Whoever guessed it was a pileated woodpecker pulling my old stump apart was
right on the money. I thought it was too much work for a bird but today I
surprised the little (not so little) devil. He flew to another tree 50'
away to see if I was going to stay or leave - and then back to another tree
20' on the other side of the stump. Went on the far side of that tree and
peeked around to check me out.

That would have been me... :)

Pretty amazing what they'll do, ain't it?

Like you, wouldn't have thought it possible from them until I saw them
in action...

I had one that liked my TV antenna; I've read they hit metal to signal
other woodpeckers that this is his territory.

Hey I can beat that, my satilite dish is 10' from my bedroom window,
little bastard sits on the back and drums away at it, any ideas on a fix for
that one? Neighbour used to do road construction, built an 18' x 40' cuvert,
2 guys, 40,000 rivets, wasn't half as bad as a woodpecker on sat dish.
