Woodpeckers?

I have woodpeckers at my house and I know what they sound like. There is something else that I think is a woodpecker but it pecks way faster than the other peckers, any ideas? It pecks almost twice as fast as the normal peckers. I haven't seen it, only heard it.

It pecks almost twice as fast as the normal peckers. I haven't seen it, only heard it. The neighbor has a nuthatch that is boring through their siding to make a nest as I type this. She has a pretty fast "rate of peck".....I think a little faster than a woodpecker. Nuthatches usually walk up and down tree trunks searching for bugs. I've never seen one so diligently peck away at something. She's almost through and the neighbors decided to let them nest.

Same thing is going on at my neighbors. Flickers punched several holes through south siding that was soft from rot. He covered those holes with patches but left a small hole uncovered. Nuthatches came in and started to enlarge the hole and pull insulation out. Surprised me to see nuthatches drilling away just like tiny woodpeckers.

Maybe an old one. Haven't they found trace amounts of Viagra in the water supply ?

It's basically the mating call of a woodpecker, this time of year they will rat-a-tat-tat machine gun style on whatever will make the most noise to lure in a girlfriend, hollow logs, outbuildings, I have had them beat on an old metal gate in spring for years now, *once* they even thought it would be cool to set on the flashing on the peak of my house and let 'er rip...not a good move, my daughter shot that one with the bb gun when it woke her up one time too many when she was 16 or 17....
Sapsuckers. That can surprise the hell out of you the first time you hear it inside the house.

It sounds like a drill on a stripped out nut going around and around at full speed.

Rule .17 HMR. If I can see it from the porch, it is as good as dead.
