Tap...tap...tap ... I know who's knocking

You cannot ignore the tapping on the tree when there's a pileated woodpecker around. If not the tapping than it's call will let you know it's there. Such an amazing large bird.

I'm singing that old song now "someone's knockin' at the door, somebody's ringin' the bell....." He's a little honey, I like him.
