Last year they brought two fledglings to teach them how to eat there. What a sight to behold!<BR/><BR/>I love walking through our woods and looking for the holes they have drilled. Interestingly enough, they drum on different trees than they drill. It must have something to do with the bark, or the hollow nature of the tree. We seem to have the perfect drumming tree outside the bathroom window.
