A little Female Downey Head Woodpecker woking diligently on construction of a fine new home.
She frequently checked her work to make sure the hole was just right on all sides
Then quickly got back to work.
No hard hats required in this construction zone but a well adapted skull like woodpeckers have helps keep their brains working after a hard days work.

One of my favorite birds. There are many in the trees close to our house. Then the get on the siding and gutters, their pecking is loud.

Hi Jim, we have never had a little downy head peck on our house but flickers do like to drum on the metal chimney cover and that creates quite a sound.
