Looks like this woodpecker knows how to use his beak. He must be a
red-headed icepecker. Would you love to have one of them peck the ice off
your windshield after a snowstorm? Just don't peck the glass. We have a
plug-in device that you put in the birdbath to prevent the water from
freezing; I imagine you can get it at a place like Wild Birds Unlimited.

The hard freeze this morning completely froze the water in our bird bath.
Our resident adult RED-HEADED WOODPECKER used his ice pick of a beak to try
to break through - pieces of ice were flying until I took pity and put out
some fresh water!
