All morning long I was trying to find the source of a strange sound in the house. A light tapping. Most often it would be "tap.....tap.....taptaptaptaptap" And just about the time I would be close to where it was coming from, it would stop. I was starting to get the littlest bit paranoid.
Just a moment ago, I was in the catroom with the tribe, and saw the male Red Belly woodpecker land on the birdfeeder, pick up a single sunflower seed, and take off headed for the roof of the house. Then, from the roof, came the tapping?!?!?!?!
I went out and sat in the car and watched, and sure enough, Mr. Red Belly was taking sunflower seeds, one at a time, to the roof, and hammering them open using the shingles as an anvil.
I was laughing so hard I was gasping
