Birds

What you see there is a northern flicker pecking a hole into my house.  (It's a type of woodpecker.  Thx to Emilia for identifying it.)  This bird pecked a hole into my house and picked a bunch of insulation out of it.  Now it is living inside and hatching a bunch more evil flicker babies.  Every time we go out to the house we always see it poking its little head out of the hole for awhile before flying away.  There is also a hole in the side of the house near the front where a  house sparrow mom and her newly hatched chicks are living.  The hole was cut by the electrician or a plumber for a vent or something.  In the next couple of days the birds will have to be relocated to a "wildlife refuge" in the sky because they are going to start doing the stucco.  Crazy evil birds!
