The woodpeckers are destroying car side mirrors and not because they see their reflections. The office has tried covering the mirrors with various materials but to no avail. I think it might be because there is a nest nearby. I'm guessing people on this list have had this issue since pileated are abundance in MN. What have you done in the past? Thanks in advance for any advice.</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:georgia,serif"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:georgia,serif">Best,</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:georgia,serif">Sarah</div><div><br></div>-- <br><div class="gmail_signature">Sarah A.
