I have several piliated woodpeckers that hang around my property & peck on the dead or dying scrub pine trees. The trees are infested with some type of beetle, as explained to me by an arborist when I bought the property. Those peckers are quite fun to watch. Their flight is very cool. I also see quite a number of hawks, and the occasional owl.

The wildlife that drives me crazy are those friggin whitetail deer. The woods around me are full of them. They can really wipe out gardens in short order. My daylillies are just now swelling out their flower buds. I've been spraying them every few days with that smelly rotten egg/garlic "Invisible Fence" product in hopes of seeing some blooms this year before the deer devour them. Ah, the pains & pleasures of country living.
