Have several of those woodpeckers, and they start early, right on the black cherry, 60 feet from the bedroom window, I have seen and sometimes hear that pileated woodpecker, they are like the size of a crow, but the ones like in the photo, put holes in everything, even the pressure treated posts on my uncompleted 20x32 pole barn.
The geese are a real nasty pest, I have to call our DEC agent, to see what can be done to rid them from our 20 acre pond, problem is there is a nice 30 acre field to one side and our small fields on the other, farmer won't plant that larger one anymore, darned geese just mow it down, I succeeded in harassing them out of the oats last year, but it was a daily, early morning affair, wasting a lot of .22 rounds to scare em out, I don't like to be mean to any critter, but we never had these take residence until the mid 80's, not sure if they were ever native here, they have to go, and I hope so, like to see that 30 acres in crops again, it's close to many other fields he works too, but they did the hay grasses in around '05, those birds can ruin a lot in a short time.
We get the heron, egrets (white), and all kinds of similar crane type birds, we even get some white swans into that pond, not sure where they come from. I saw one of those herons hit a high voltage line, break a wing, and tumble back to the ground, went over to get him, know a rehabber of birds, too big for me to fool with, that sucker tried to poke at my eyes, and feet, with that skewer of a beak, which I was aware could happen before I went to capture him, one thing is for sure if anyone ever has to fool with one of these, put some eye protection on and contain that beak, I had to fold his head up like a pocket rule to carry him off so he could not get me, his wing sure was a mess, but he calmed down once back at the garage, watch yer eyes around them.

Today's Featured Article - Harvestin Hay: The Early Years (Part 2) - by Pat Browning. The summer of 1950 was the start of a new era in farming for our family. I was thirteen, and Kathy (my oldest sister) was seven. At this age, I believed tractor farming was the only way, hot stuff -- and given a chance I probably would have used the tractor, Dad's first, a 1936 Model "A" John Deere, to go bring in the cows! And I think Dad was ready for some automation too. And so it was that we acquired a good, used J. I. Case, wire tie hay baler. In addition to a person to drive th
