as though someone was knocking. They were but not at the door. It took me a while to locate the visitor.
Someone or something was hammering metal.
I found the source.
I am standing in the bath tub, contorting to get this picture out the screened window. The pipe is a wood stove pipe from the basement. I guess the wood pecker thought it would make a wonderful house. This pipe is straight with the house but the way I had to curl and shoot, didn't show up very well. The rocks on the outside of the house were in the way, too.
When I could stretch no more,
I decided to try to sneak up on it outside. I was caught and the wood pecker flew to the safety of the trees.
Finally...I got a good one.

You are quite the contortionist photographer. Good job Miss Gail!
God bless and have a restful evening void of fine feathered strangers knockin'! :o)
Heehee tenacious! Both you and your woodpecker are an example of perseverance to us all .
Beautiful shots, Gail. The angle adds to the effort you and the woodpecker put into this shot! Wonderful post. Have a blessed weekend, my friend. (((Hugs))) Jo
At least you'll be able to find YOUR woodpecker. He's the one with the rounded bill from pecking on metal :D
Great shots oh bent one!

Now thats a little different... Hammering on the top of the pipe. I remember a couple that used to get their kicks pounding away on the sheet metal roof of a woodshed. What a noise they could make. ATB!
We have woodpeckers here that like to hammer the rain gutters every so often for some reason.
Crazy birds.
I think they just like to let us know they're around. ;)
Have a great weekend!
