Wingsday!!
Woodpeckers do not have vocal songs, though they can make chirps, chatters, and other alarm calls.
They drum on resonant objects such as hollow trees, stumps, logs, utility poles, chimneys, rain gutters, metal roofing, and trash cans, as well as any other object that may echo loudly. Woodpeckers drum to attract mates and establish territories.

The Pileated woodpecker is North America's largest - 18" long with a 20" wingspan

A couple of years ago, right at sunrise very early in the morning, a male red-bellied woodpecker would come to pay us a nice morning visit.

He discovered that pecking on our satellite dish produced a very, very loud sound that attracted all the ladies.

And woke up the entire neighborhood. :banghead:

The hamlet of Scheendijk in Utrecht province, Netherlands

Utrecht.JPG

Roughly 300 residents call these narrow islets home, but for only part of the year. Rising from the shallow waters of Loosdrecht Lake, much of the high ground here in Scheendijk is dotted with holiday homes, and for most of the year they receive electricity, fresh water, and sewer services. Although they’re a popular spot for summertime vacationers from nearby cities like Utrecht, the homes are empty in winter. How was this curious landscape formed? In the 17th century, vast peat bogs were harvested for fuel, leaving behind deep channels where water collected into lakes, with only strips of land left rising above the surface.
