May 20, 2011: A SILLY WOODPECKER HAS TAKEN A LIKING TO OUR NEIGHBORHOOD...

A Neighborly Red-Breasted Sapsucker Woodpecker...

This particular Woodpecker relentlessly pecks 
on this hardy board holding a building permit sign 
across the street from our house; 
it's been at it off and on for months now! 
 If it's not pecking on this sign - 
it's been doing so more often on a nearby neighbor's house, 
and it's rather loud 
(what NICE neighbors they are to have 
the PATIENCE to put up with its incessant pecking!)   
He pecks beginning in the wee hours of the morn 
and often does so into the afternoon on most days.
