* Noisy Woodpeckers * |
I caught this shot of a female woodpecker on a saguaro.
While staying at my friend's house I have discovered that they have a few woodpeckers around their house. I do hope to get a good shot of the male woodpecker with his bright red head.
Now just outside of the window of my guest room there is a basketball goal, with a fiberglass backboard.
My new wake-up call has been that every
morning, for some strange reason, these woodpeckers like to go and peck on the
back side of the backboard, creating a very very loud noise, sounding something
like a fast jackhammer in my head.
But it's often very short and they go away, and I go back to sleep.
I can't say how many times I have awoke from a dream where I was being shot by a machine gun.
