Perhaps you remember the story in the Home and Garden section last spring about a Pileated Woodpecker that chose a Wayzata power pole as its nest site. It dug one hole. The power company put a patch on it. It dug a second hole. The power company wrapped that section of the pole with wire mesh. That was that for the 2008 season. The bird has returned for another try, chiseling away Monday afternoon on a handsome nesting cavity about two feet above the wrap. Stay tuned.
