    Love your drawing - you captured how their tail slants towards the tree.
    They come to our feeders, but as we have a stucco house - no damage! I put on a hanging wood log with peanut/butter suet crammed into notches for them to tap away on . I love their feather patterns!

    Oh, what about when they are tapping on the metal downspouts to your house?!? ha ha. I thought this tapping was them tapping holes in trees but have read that this is the males, telling others that this is their territory and stay away - hence they tap on anything! Really loud when it's metal! ha ha. They have to have super-hard heads.

    Oh I love this! I have only seen woodpeckers rarely and photographed them from afar so I have not encountered their noisy nature...

    thanks Julie :) they are gorgeous birds, miss seeing them since we never see any around here. they are generally too big for the cats to attack but never see any :/

    thanks carol :)

    Rhonda, drove me insane when they would do that or the ravens tapping on the windows lol yeah you would think it would hurt their heads/beaks
