The OSUT #228...Snow Mageddon 2022

for years my wife loved it when we would get lucky enough to spot a Pileated woodpecker. Now one has moved in right here and is working hard to kill one of my pine trees in the front yard right by the driveway. It is awesome to be able to watch it from the front window but I don't think the tree will survive

My daughter said she knew about it but hadn't said anything because she thought it wasn't public knowledge and didn't want me saying anything to my parents about it until someone had told them. I don't think they know.

Just what everybody needs, more "secrets" and family drama

They sure can be hard on them, but I think it's a sign that the tree already has issues.

We had all ours taken down, but the woods behind us has plenty to keep them around.

it's like he is trying to make a nest but the tree is not big enough and hole, now holes, are only 3 foot up from the ground

Morning Klaus. They generally like hardwoods so odd it would be tearing up your pine. Might have found a cache of bug larvae though.

I hope we get some good melting the next few days. My gutters over the deck have filled with ice. They were clean at the end of fall, so I don't know what's up. I think snow slid down in them and before it could melt, it got too cold and it just froze there.
