Yellow Bellied Sapsucker

I have heard this guy making a bunch of noise in the past and as I was pulling out of the driveway Sunday I saw this Yellow Bellied Sapsucker ratta tat tatting on the old milk can. Odd behavior, but I've heard woodpeckers using tin roofs and down spouts to attract mates or to warn of danger, so maybe not so weird.
I have had this little bird hut for at least 8 years. I purchased it at a potter in Smicksberg, PA and have tried to get a bird to call it home since then. I just recently moved it from near the house hanging on a shepherds hook to the day lily garden and within a week we have a nest; still haven't seen the bird, but I'm suspecting a wren.

I especially love that first shot :) Very nice pictures!
Yehaw those are great pictures, I have not seen that kind of pecker either, I get Flickers, downey (both sizes) but thats about it, oh and Grossbeak that looks like a pecker. Glad something moved in to your house too, how fun!

Good Morning! Great shots! I love all those ferns in the background. That is such a pretty bird house - congratulations on your new neighbors.
For a couple of years now, there has been a woodpecker that ratta-tat-tats on a metal plate holding the yard light up at the top of the telephone pole in my yard. He comes just after dawn every day. I love to hear it.
