Let me show you the door

Well, the birds (and if you can believe it, we had bees even when the temp was near or below zero) were hanging out with us.  We had a black and white woodpecker who was checking out our decorative birdhouses. 

What the heck is this?
He was very pushy and wanted in:

No chimney either, what gives.


Aahh, here's the entrance.
Sorry charlie, the houses are decoration only.  We will be providing accommodations at some point that are sufficient for their purposes.  All in good time though.  I need time to research the black and white woodpecker (and the grey jay which you will see pictures of soon) to see what they prefer for accommodation.

Not giving up, this guy left the cluster of houses and found this one hanging next to the deck:


What I did not take a picture of was the hole the little bugger pecked into the side of one of the 'decorative' houses.  Took one wall out nearly completely.
