Thanks Trudy and goodsign.

Goodsign, I don't think there are bugs in the house, we are just getting away from 50 below winter, and these birds have a habit of hammering hollow-sounding things to mark territory, show their prowess to the other males, and attract females.

Trudy a squirrel did that damage to the opening a few years ago, when he robbed the house of baby swallows. :(

Superb photo,Katy !
We used to have one of these birds that liked to land on top of our metal wood stove chimney and pound on that. He also liked to pound on a nearby ( empty) 55 gallon drum.
Not too many of this type bird in S.E. Alaska.

About katy99780
katy99780 I've lived in Alaska since 1969. I really love this wild land. The extremes of the far north shape and affect every living thing. Extremes of weather, elevation, daylight hours, isolation, flora and fauna, nothing in Nature is insignificant.I have a Davis Vantage Pro weather station, uploading to Wunderground, (Turks on the Tundra) the National Weather Service, the Citizen Weather Observation Program and MADIS (Meteorological Assimilation Data Ingest System).
