So what is this, you may ask? Well, I have heard a funny tap, tap, tap, on occasion. The first time I heard it, I thought maybe my neighbor was hammering something in his back yard. But I kept hearing it for several days. Today, I finally went outside to check because I thought just maybe.....

and I was right! It was a stinkin' woodpecker. He has made this lovely hole into our attic on the west side of the house and has started two other holes. I talked to my neighbor about it and she said they have been all over the neighborhood and that several other homes have holes, too. Now we are on the rampage to get rid of woodpeckers!
