Noise Ordinance

[bloodyrosemccoy]

This morning I woke up to someone banging on my window. BAM BAM BAM. BAM BAM BAM.

Once I figured out it was coming from the window—not easy, as the whole place was rattling—it was time to narrow it down further. Confused burglar? Lovesick lad? No, couldn’t see anyone … Um, cold ghost?

BAM BAM BAM.

Finally I gave up and went around to see what all the noise was.

It was a northern flicker who’d decided to take up residence in our house, bashin’ his head against our deck.

Darn nature. I’d tell it to get off my lawn, but then I wouldn’t have a lawn.

Oh man, we used to have the same problem with a certain woodpecker at the side of our house. I'd wake up wondering who was knocking on the door so obnoxiously when it was, in fact, the bird on the deck. Oy.

I have such a weakness for the innocence of animals that I don't think I could have done anything except put some food out for the little buddy.

What did you end up doing?

*grin* I left out some food for him. Poor dope was just looking for bugs!
