That would have been me...

Pretty amazing what they'll do, ain't it?

Like you, wouldn't have thought it possible from them until I saw them
in action...

just be glad its not visiting your home every morning at 5 AM drilling
at your homes trim. my woodpecker had a schedule his stop here was
first thing in the morning

I had all the trim covered with aluminimum to silence him

I had one that liked my TV antenna; I've read they hit metal to signal
other woodpeckers that this is his territory.
