Downy Woodpecker

This woodpecker has been pecking away at the wood around the hole in this birdhouse for days. We have no idea why!
So really sharp and love the feeder

What a lovely little fellow, and that birdhouse is brilliantly original! Fav.

It's what they do! Maybe it is feeling a little tight - too many sunflower seeds perhaps? Wonderful story shot in any event.

Great capture. Silly bird. I wonder why he is doing that. Maybe he is trying to make the hole bigger.

Love the roof of your birdhouse maybe the bird new there where insects in the wood?
September 21st, 2022  
I think they usually do that when they are looking for insects. Does the house have other unseen tenants, I wonder?

Nice shot of the wood working! We had woodpeckers do this to a couple of our birdhouses, so we had to add “portal protectors” (metal gadgets that surround the hole. Otherwise, the holes were big enough that larger bird (blue jays, for example) can get in and bother babies or eggs.

Great shot and a wonderful birdhouse. Is that an old number plate being used for the roof?
September 22nd, 2022  
@jamibann Yes, an old license plate for the roof. The plate has our state bird and flower on the other end so I wanted my husband to use it.

Absolutely lovely photo. Wish I was there...

Beautiful woodpecker, looks great against the monochrome birdhouse.

It is my understanding that they like the noise. We have a wooden bird house where they went after the roof like this fellow has gone after your hole. They also love to hammer away at our gutters and the wood siding around our chimney pipe. We've tried several different methods to stop them but so far nothing has really worked.

Love the clarity of this shot.
