Funny news story on tv right now
A woodpecker visits every summer - a pilliated woodpecker - and pecks on the window. All summer. Not on the wood. The glass!

Sorry, had to say it. :-)

1. I just consulted my Random House dictionary and I have to ask...
What does "pilliated" mean? The dictionary doesn't have it.

Thanks!

Terry

3. When I was a kid, there was a woodpecker that would do that to our windows
I imagine he didn't find too many bugs.
