Construction

I was editing photos when I heard a soft ratatat (heard near end of video). The male downey woodpecker was enlarging the entry hole on the house wren’s house. I am going to have to put a nuthatch metal plate around that hole to stop the construction work. Then I need to put up different larger hole box for the downy woodpeckers to roost in for the winter. Downys like to roost but not nest in boxes. The house wrens have raised chicks in that house for the last three seasons. The woodpecker was having a good time!
