They use my house, and the neighbor’s house, for practice. The neighbor had to re-side his house due to the damage.

We had something happen at our hummingbird feeder the other day. My son saw male downy woodpecker land on it, and drink from the hummingbird feeder! Has anyone ever seen that? Love your "Woody Woodpeckers" photo. Thank so much for sharing. They are gorgeous birds!
