The Drumming Sound of the Woodpecker

The woodpecker is an intelligent bird and where there are trees you can find them drumming away searching for food. With their tail, feathers they balance and have powerful neck muscles to drive a blow into the wood. They vary in size ranging from seven to 15-inches.

You can see them displayed with a pattern of black, white, and brown with vivid red markings around the face. Further, they have two backward pointing claws to climb and grasp structures and trees. They nest in dead trees and live near water sources. The likeliness is if your premises border wooded areas, the activities heightened.

They move from one tree to another drumming away and eventually move into your yard looking for food. Sooner or later, they peck at eaves, siding, and trim of buildings. Why as the amplification that the structure produces sounds the same as that of a tree.

What damage do they cause?

When the woodpecker drums on trees, they are part of nature, but once they move to your home, they cause extensive damage. They drill holes in wood sidings, peck at downspouts, gutters, and even metal tanks. During spring and fall when males attract mates, the hammering becomes worse and they cause significant damage to structures. Sometimes they drill holes beneath wooden shingles and siding to store food and can weaken trees over time. And finally, yet importantly, their constant hammering becomes an annoyance when you want to sleep late.
