What is the drumming sound on my chimney stack and gutters?
This is just the Northern Flicker trying to attract a mate! He will only drum on your stacks and gutters for a couple of months. There are certain things you can do to scare them away, such as holographic scare tape, mechanical spiders, or hanging things in the yard such as pots and pans that make loud sounds when they cling together. If you find a woodpecker making holes in your house, then you may want to hire someone to come in and check for insects.
