    Beautiful shots!

    There’s a woodpecker in my neighborhood and it always makes me think how unpleasant it would be to rapidly hammer a tree using my face.

      I am amazed how something so little can make so much noise.

    I thought my AC was breaking because I’d randomly hear what sounded like a jackhammer.

    Turns out it’s one of these assholes. They know it’s metal and not wood, but they try to make the loudest noises possible to scare off predators and attract mates.

    So apparently it’s normal for them to do random bongo solos on AC units.
