[TN-Bird] Hairy WP

Birders,
This has to do with interesting bird behavior.  Yesterday afternoon, my 
next-door neighbor called me to come see her strange wood pecker.  I went over 
carrying my binos.  Her husband  had placed a 6'x 1 1/2" board in the ground to 
support a small fruit tree in their backyard.   I had noticed three carpenter 
bee holes in the board several days before and had explained how the holes got 
there to their five children.  The Hairy Wood Pecker was stitting on the board 
and eating from each hole in the board.  This process took the better part of 
an hour!  After he left, I examined the holes and discovered the Hairy had 
enlarged each hole on the outside.  The Hairy family lives near by and  I see 
them on a daily basis.  I found this behavior most interesting.
