Red-bellied Woodpeckers in my oak tree -HELP!
by Seth
(Houston, TX)
I have 2 Red bellied woodpeckers drilling several huge holes in one of my trees branches. It looks like one male and one female preparing to lay eggs. I have also noticed that the branch they are drilling into is losing the bark on several spots. I don't want to disturb them while they are making their babies, but I am concerned that my tree is infested with insects. When would be the best time to cut the branch off?
Comment
Not to worry - as long as the woodpeckers are there, they will devour the insects. Please let them raise their babies, first before cutting any branches.

Depending on the size of your feeder posts, use either full size or Slinky juniors, and you will eliminate chipmunks, red squirrels, and fox squirrels
