Drumming on the Downspout
by Cheryl
(Newport, Nova Scotia, Canada)
I enjoy watching birds. However, I wish the yellow-bellied sapsucker that is hanging out in my woods could be seen and NOT heard.
At approxiately 5:30 am he's up and drumming on the downspout outside by bedroom. He stops. I begin to fall back to sleep, only to be awoken my his return.
Last evening we covered "his" downspout.
This morning he was back drumming on another downspout.
Tonight we'll cover all the downspouts and hope that he doesn't start drumming on the metal roof.
What then???
