Not dinosaurs dearie. Sapsucker is the name you're groping for, although flickers drive me nuts drumming on the steel pipes at 5:30 AM.

😂😂😂

I kinda love those little assholes though. The red-bellied sonofabitches in my yard always harass the blue jays, who often bully the smaller songbirds. Very nice dinosaurs.

The Queen of Neckbeards it’s funny you should say that. Of course, I love all birds (even the sonofabitch hammering out his territory from my chimney!) But I used to have a problem with blue jays, thinking that they were just bullies (as you pointed out). But over the years I’ve come to appreciate the Jays for their resourcefulness and intelligence. As well as for the variety of calls they make. I used to only know their loud, raucous “bullying” caw. But I’ve since discovered a soft, quiet whistley type call (almost like a faint creaky door hinge) which has become one of my favorite sounds in all of nature!

@@stvbrsn I totally admire their intelligence too. I guess being smart also gives them a big personality, and whenever they're not screaming they are really cool birds. A lot like parrots lol

A hybrid between an acorn woodpecker and pileated woodpecker.

Pileated Woodpecker

I do a lot of pounding on walls in the early AM too. It does seem to work.

Is it actually "constructing"? Or just communicating?

@@kurtreber9813 the peacking is to mark their territory ☝️

Canada is part of North America.

I always heard it was from getting bugs out of the siding...State extension service recommends that you hang a mirror in the spot where it's trying to nest. Bird-brain thinks its a rival bird and flies away.

I remember hearing about sightings much more recent than the 1940s--more like the 1980s--deep in swampland forest in southern states. Not gone yet, just repopulating I hope.

Some reports have some living in swamps of Arkansas in the 2010's & in swampland in Florida also.
