Dogs of C-Kennel by Mick & Mason Mastroianni for April 28, 2023

Bill is going be in for quite a shock.

Those transformers are filled with oil. If Bill breaks thru the casing he’ll have a gusher on his feathers.

Where I used to work there was a woodpecker that was always pecking on a metal light pole

Wheeler flies with a pretty coarse crowd.

Bill is about to have an energy drink.

I’ll have what Bill had, please. Yip yip yip yip yip

Sorry , but it is not hooked up to the primary so all is " ok " : )

I was listening to a bird expert on the radio recently, and he said woodpeckers often drum (or whatever it’s called) on metal objects during mating season because they are louder than wood — and the louder the drumming, the more attractive they are to a mate.

Oy! Any higher and he’ll be a fried Woodpecker. ☹️

Woodpeckers ‘sharpen’ their beak on such objects.

Bill’s going to have a shocking experience.

I’m sitting here this morning reading this comic while a Downy woodpecker is drumming outside on a tree in our back yard.

During mating season the boys will peck to make noise and attract a female It has become a thing that he who makes the loudest noise attracts the best female.

I hunt, and I put game cameras out. Usually I’ll leave them out all year just to see what kind of wildlife I’ll get pictures of. One time a woodpecker destroyed one of my cameras. I had hundreds of pics of it doing so. Thankfully I didn’t get any pics of a woodpeckerpecker. It wasn’t for lack of it trying though. I had some pretty… um… intimate photos of it

A few years ago, there was a Pileated Woodpecker that kept trying to drill into my metal chimney cap. If the makers of alarm clocks could duplicate that sound, nobody would ever oversleep because they didn’t hear the alarm.

He’s trying to change the pecking order.

I have one out front that started doing that to a 20 foot, ten-inch diameter pole out front a week ago. The pole supports our power line going to the house. He seems to be making progress.

He’s not drunk, he’s horny

Actually it’s normal behaviour for woodpeckers! By the racket they make, be it on wood or on metal, they are they are telling other males " This is my territory! " Sorry to be sooooo instructive!! :-)

There was one that faithfully worked on the transformer outside my bedroom window every morning. Talk about a headache!
