WOODPECKER!
I am about to add 3 Pileated Woodpeckers to the State of Indiana's nuisance list.

I have a few around my place to. Pretty looking birds, but a little noisy during mating season.

Maybe get a nuisance permit? I've seen the damage they can do at a clients house he was really upset didn't think he had any recourse. Probably same thing as Raptors, protected.

They might be protected. They used to be. Not sure today.

They can be real hard on wood siding.

If you have woodpeckers working on your house you have another problem - likely a 6 legged one

I had one a few years ago try to make a large new nest in my roof. Woody old nest was in a Duke Energy electric pole. They changed it out to a steel pole. That spring woody tried to make a new nest hole. I filled it in with roofing rubber and I placed a larger finial over it.

They'll hammer on things just to communicate. They're not always after bugs.

Yeah, but if it’s the same spot repeatedly I would check it out

Same as bald eagle. No more than medium rare.

Same as bald eagle. No more than medium rare. Very similar to the spotted owl as well. |
