So, the Irritape didn’t exactly work. I caught that little devil tapping two feet above the flapping tape. And, the Minion has informed me that it is a Downy woodpecker, not a Hairy woodpecker. I shooed, shouted, and threw more pinecones. The next step was to visit the Wild Bird Center to seek expert advice. Surprisingly, they weren’t exceedingly helpful. The nice man behind the counter suggested I find out what was wrong with the tree; bugs were probably what was attracting the woodpecker’s attention. Anyway, hanging pie plates from every branch was the consensus of everyone in the bird store. I’ll get the ladder (or the Minion will).
