Got a pesky woodpecker that's pecking away and driving you nuts? There are more than 45 types of woodpeckers in the U.S., and all share the same general traits, most of which annoy humans. First, they ?drum? (repeatedly tap) on trees to attract a mate and to test for drill-ability. They also make holes to search for food (namely insects) and to excavate a new home. That last one is often the answer to the problem. Frank Lloyd Wright, who was born on this day, said ?A hill, a house and nature should all live together; each better off for the other.? The Texas parks and wildlife office took note and swapped net barriers, predator decoys and foul-tasting deterrents in favor of simple wood nest or roosting boxes (birdhouses) with a 3-inch hole in front and straw inside. Presto si-lenc-io, it was what Woody was looking for all along! The message? Build it, and maybe they won't drum!
