You're right I didn't read what you wrote correctly. I'll delete my post.

no problem RVdub, i did as well...

if the pecker isn't acting right give it a blue pill.

Had worse... Similar bird liked the drain pipe from the roof, outside my bedroom.

Neighbors home owners insurance wont like it much, neither will yours. Call your agent. Who know what they would do if they find out you knew the fallen tree damage could have been prevented. Maybe insurance will cover the proper removal of the tree.

Got a pair of Downie Woodpeckers that nest in a dead 7in dia.
branch on the Apple Tree. Funny to watch, they drill a new hole
each year. Won't use the old one. The male starts a hole and
brings his mate to show off. She looks it over and starts her own
hole. This years eggs have hatched and there are three little
fuzz balls in the bottom of the hole. Gotta use an inspection
mirror to see them.
Pair of Flickers have a nesting hole in the big Weeping Willow.
I don't spray ants nest any more. The Flickers love ants, and will
park on a nest and eat their fill.
I hear the Downies working the Cherry Tree for bugs now and
then but they're no disturbance.
Nice to see some happy peckers now and then.
