Re: [WISPA] Ridiculously OT, but relevant question...
We put a full size plastic owl on a 50 ft tower just above the antenna that had many mockingbirds perching on a yagi, and the went away. Not sure about woodpeckers. Are they perching or pecking?

It's amazing how little there is to do when you take the bull by the horns. All I need now is a matching cape! I've been lurking here for quite a while actually, but just haven't chimed in much I guess. When the "other" Canopy list went $$, I came to the wispa canopy list and am fairly active there. But I guess I just don't spend as much time listing as I use to. Maybe I just know everything now?At the very least, I've learned what NOT to do. But since this is where the majority of the "old gang" now resides, I threw in the towel on the other lists, albeit reluctantly. There was some loyalty there I suppose. Now I'm recovering. I guess you could say I'm seeking therapy here! ;) Rk WISPA Wants You!

Re: [WISPA] Ridiculously OT, but relevant question...
Ag or farm suppliers also carry rolls of mylar ribbon, very cheap. It's silver reflective on one side and usually red on the other. Like the CD idea recently posted, it flops in the wind and reflects sunlight. It's so effective that the reflections can be seen from quite a distance (1/2 mile) and makes the area look very "busy". It's used quite a bit out this way by rice farmers to keep the birds under control. I hate Starlings, they make a mess under my tower during the fall.

I would use an old CD. Hang it where the woodpecker is pecking. Hang it in a way that the CD will move freely with a fishing line.
