Not exactly sure whats going on. Im in the middle of 150 acres, surrounded by 6300 acres of game lands. I have cameras all over, and not one person on camera. Deer, coyotes, and the ravens. I was just up on the roof in November before Thanksgiving giving it a look over before hunting season, saw nothing unusual. No nuts, seeds, etc. Some small branches and leaves. Cleaned it all up with leaf blower. All the metal, except AC condenser, is covered in white of some sort. I just dont get it.

Seagulls are also infamous about standing on small boat radar domes and pecking holes in the fiberglass. Nothing to eat, just destructive!

ss, I might want to look into this unit at $110.00 to start with: Bird-B-Gone Super Sonic Bird Repeller — Model# NTIB50. The reviews are good as is the warranty.
A middle of the road propane cannon is about $600.

Wow! Im not putting this on record, but that woodpecker would disappear for sure.

Funny you say that. Happened to 2 boats in my marina. After seeing it, I throw a piece of netting that I put about 200 zip ties and cut sharply on an angle on my t-top. Easy to remove when I use the boat. Wont scratch the fiberglass and keeps them from landing on the dome.
