[QUOTE="quigley257, post: 3100134, member: 84442"] Two things being described here. First is the "territorial hammering" where the male woodpeckers drum on anything(they love metal gutters and downspouts) that will generate noise to warn other males that this is their territory. The one boring into the brace is after grubs, ants or termites. I guarantee if you cut that brace you will find a rotten/eaten spot from bugs of some sort. They don't just randomly start blasting into a piece of wood unless they know there are bugs/larvae inside. The hammering should stop as summer approaches, the one attacking the brace will continue until there is no more food to be had. [/QUOTE]
