here's the army's contribution to woodpeckers.

By the way, has anyone else every seen a woodpecker eating live bees?
Either we have one smart Woody (picking off bees from the cluster in cold
weather), OR something else is killing the bees and Woody's cleaning up after.

We've had woodpeckers try to break into an overwintering shed - my guess,
they could smell the bees inside since the hole in the wall was by a vent.

Cheers

Jerry
