He needs to harden his beak.

Gum Tree ?

Okay, backyard birder here chuckling aloud on the coast of Maine this morning. That’s funny, Harry. Thanks!

“You’re going to be the laughing stock of the woodpecker community!”

Gotta stay away from those knots.

Awww! Piliated woodpeckers….I hear them “tapping” all summer long‼️☺️

Hoping it’s not MY trees ….lol

Yep.

I wonder if John Bobbitt has a woodpecker?

Perhaps someone has stopped him. Knock before entering.

Not a woodpecker, this one. No, he’s a woodpecked.

Glad my tea was out of the way when I lol.

Yes, I pecked a packet of powerful super glue on the ground, oops…

Sap!

That woodpecker’s really sticking it out sticking it in!

Another terrific tree. With bark like that, it’s got to be alive with bugs.

Talk about a pain in the neck!

’Nuther great tree.

My former house had wood siding on one part of it. My bedroom had wood siding on 3 sides. I was sometimes up at 530a throwing my shoes at woodpeckers. I just needed sleep!

Looks like a red-headed sap stucker.

Hey…are those ivory bills? maybe that’s why they went extinct!

Never stick it in all the way to the hilt !!
