I like the shotgun approach to a Wood Pecker, pecking at the house. LOL.

Incidentally, any firearm discharge for a bird close to the house? A bird?

Not gonna happen with me.

Yeh, personally I got no issue with taking a problem out, but as they say don't cut off your nose to spite your face.

Read the informative article provided by Ruffdog. I didn't know that they will drum just to call a mate and establish territory. My frustration is at the level shown in Failure to Launch. :)
This bird, has a single minded mission to drive me crazy. We have a Dome house. These echo sounds in different manners than most other houses. This bird has figured out exactly where to peck to make the loudest sound, and its like someone knocking at your door every 30 minutes.

Its a non-game protected bird, so shooting it is illegal in Oregon unless you get a special permit.

The owl decoy, I got, is entirely useless.

We've named the bird "Fred," after the open theme of the Flintstones: Fred banging on the door, yelling "Willma."

Wll try the milar balloon thing next.
