@SnowRider I had to "remove" a pilated woody because I couldn't stop him from eating my house. He also completely wrecked two trees in the yard. I tried everything to scare him away but he just wouldn't leave. Amazing looking birds tho.  :bc:

I had one last house that I was about ready to take my shotgun to, figured I'd just repair or re side the house after I confirmed the fucker was dead.  :lol:

Just over a mile away from the drone. I think it was at between 200-300 feet agl (above ground level) at the time.

No, I was a little over 6000 feet behind it. With a clear line of sight with no wifi interference it will go up to 6 miles. I've had my other one that doesn't have as good of a connection as my new one 3 miles away. 

Their new Mini 2 has the same connection as my new one is $500. That's a lot of tech for the money.

An afternoon visitor.  Pileated Woodpecker - largest in North America.  We have a couple nesting pairs close by.

Do they do any damage to homes or out buildings?

Not the Pileated.  Have a handful of woodpecker holes - mostly on corner trim from smaller species.  Usually have about 6-7 different species of woodpeckers visit the feeders.

Fortunately they haven’t damaged the house.  A few smaller species have pecked a handful of small holes on the corner trim.  
 

I’ve watched them go to town on a locust and red pine stumps.  Chunks were flying.  Glad it wasn’t the house

Nice view.  What’s your path to being a Captain? Are you anchored up and boats come to you to refuel?
