Fairly Quiet So Far

One of the nasty parts of spring, at least around here, is the racket raised by Red Bellied Woodpeckers.  They have found that their territorial "calls" are greatly enabled by metal gutters and flashing.  And we are normally vexed by these insane birds.  However, in 2014, I have yet to hear any important noisemaking.  Either the birds are good at doing this business when I am away or the newer generations have not figured out how neat it is to beat on a house.  I hope for the latter and am enjoying the relative peace and quiet!
