THE EARLY BIRD STRIKES AGAIN — by Steve Nadis

There’s always something that stands between me and a good night’s sleep. Lately it’s been the woodpecker (we call him Woody) who’s taken up residence in our gigantic maple tree. Woody got an early start this morning. I heard him from 5 a.m. on, pecking away at a branch not too far from my bedroom window. I’m a big supporter of nature and all that, but can’t it adhere to some standards of civility?

    Woodpeckers are fun to feed - hang the suet tray upside-down and you will get only birdies that can hang on underneath. But we have one that hammers on our deck railing and complains if the feeder is empty. Such manners!

    Thanks for the tip, Carol, though I’ll try to keep them away from the deck…
