I am still thinking it is one of the woodpeckers we have here. Sometimes I hear the call and, if it is quiet enough, I can hear that it is followed by some pecking sounds. We have a few woodpeckers that are not very large and are difficult to spot when they are up in a tree with leaves on it. If I ever get one spotted, I will be sure to share. :) Mike * SLMR 2.1a * "Tryin' is the first step towards failure." - Homer --- SBBSecho 3.12-Linux * Origin: capitolcityonline.net * Telnet/SSH:2022/HTTP (1:2320/105) .
