On the chipsthat fall inside, the eggs are laid and the little ones hatched.The bed may be a hard one but it is safe from the prying eyesand sharp talons of the Owls, Hawks, Crows and Jays, thosenatural enemies of the small birds. In this hole or in a similarone, our Woodpecker makes his home during both summer andwinter. Many birds roost at night in the branches of the trees,but this is not true of Woodpeckers.
