The other morning I was sitting at the kitchen table, with the slider to the deck open for fresh air, when I started hearing a knocking noise. I turned around and looked through the door to see this female woodpecker pecking at our deck umbrella. I guess she must have thought it was a tree but unfortunately for her there were no tasty bugs inside.
If you are up for a quick video, you can see her in action.
That's hilarious! Maybe he's used to wooden umbrellas?!
ReplyDeleteLOL!
ReplyDeletetoo funny
ReplyDeleteaw man! at least it was nice and soft on her beak for once!
ReplyDeletePoor woodpecker, all that work for nothing, lol.
ReplyDeleteWoodpeckers can be such crazy birds! We had one that would come around when I was little and it would peck on this old steel crane tower for hours on end, it seemed to happen every summer. I always wondered what the heck it was pecking at up there!
ReplyDeletehuh! it's pretty awesome when you can catch the oddest things on camera!
ReplyDeleteOH man that's crazy lol
ReplyDeleteHappy Wordless Wednesday! Great Pictures!! I am always trying to catch a woodpecker in action but havent had any luck yet! Hope you have a great rest of the week!

maybe the bird needed more coffee befire it could realize that it wasn't wood lol
ReplyDeleteThe ones around here like to peck at our gutters. It vibrates the whole house!
ReplyDeleteHow totally funny!! I promise I did not copy you this week!! How random is it that we both put photos of woodpeckers on our WW? LOVE IT
ReplyDeleteLOL! He certainly does look a bit confused! Too funny!
ReplyDeleteHahah the wood peckers around here do the same thing! It's especially hard on the ears when they are trying to peck at metal. :(
ReplyDeleteI hope he didn't put a hole in your umbrella! Cool shot!
ReplyDeleteHe sure is a determined little fella! Thanks for the linky too.

ReplyDeleteHehe! He's a little confused. :)
ReplyDeletePoor, silly bird! We had a red-bellied woodpecker visiting our finch feeder daily a few months back. I'm a little sad that I haven't seen her in a while.

Haha Great photo :)
ReplyDeleteMust be the bird. My parents had one that used to peck on the metal part of the chimney. It took us forever to figure out what the noise was.
ReplyDeletePoor mama... she's gonna go hungry.
ReplyDeleteI hope she didn't do any damage to the umbrella.
