[TN-Bird] Re: woodpecker damage

Problem here is there is probably a food source in the siding, probably some 
type of insects that bore into the wood and leave grub.  The woodpeckers are 
after the ready supply of food.

She needs to find an exterminator to wipe out the bugs, and the woodpeckers 
will find another food source.

For that info, she owes me 5 days and 4 nights at Lake Tahoe!!!  Assuming, 
of course, she's reasonable close to the ski resort.
