That's a bird^^^

I have heard pileated woodpeckers often.

I actually have a hollow tree at the end of my garden where they have nested many years.

It wasn't the same sound at all. Not even close. I wish it had been. Because I would t think I was you g nuts.


That way the knocks could be easily dismissed.


If I had to use one word to describe the knocks the word would be inexplicable


If it had been a woodpecker the sound wouldn't have stood out to me because its just par for the course in my hollar.

What gets me is the consistent spacing and tenor of the knocks. No matter how far or close neither ever changed


Ive always been the type who think the people who believe in bigfoot are nuts and I still dont believe in bigfoot but it was something ive never hears before. My neighbor was the one who mentioned bigfoot then it got me thinking.

Who knows?

I wish I k we what id heard I can tell you that.

I am thinking wood pecker , I have sat quietly hunting and hear a similar 3 pop pop pop almost sounded like gun fire in the distance or knocking on a hollow log always the same cadence

eventually I was sitting there long enough I was able to put sight to sound a large wood pecker I don't know what type knock knock knock wait a bit moving around knock knock knock , wait moving around , repeat , fly ways it was like it was looking for the good hollow trees to find the insects , I almost wonder if they can hear the bugs moving after they hammer and if none active in that spot move and try again.

I know the wild life experts have everyone convinced that every bird in a species calls the same way or does everything the same and yet the wolves didn't read the liberals manual to being a wolf and we see lots of behavior that contradicts the "how it is " that antis and wild life professionals spout.

Well Cathryn, now I am just scared for you! It's been nice knowing you and you will be missed!

Any ruffed grouse In your area?

Carry your Camera ...

Any of y'all can make fun. I don't care.

It was something ive never heard before and I want to know what it was and I'm gonna try and find out.

Jerry told me not to post it cause y'all think i was off my rockers but that's ok.


I. Know I heard something not everyone has heard and its bugging me and will till I can logically explain what I heard.

i would bet its a grouse. I hear them all the time and would describe the sound as an old single cylinder engine that sounds like its a quarter of a mile off.

Just now heard three knocks back of our place. Thing is, I know what they were:

The neighbors who have thousands of acres of ryegrass use propane cannon hazers to scare the canadian geese off their fields.

Cathryn, if it was bigfoot, at least it was knock three times and not twice on the pipes...That should at least make you smile!

A few but that not what it was.

Ive heard them drumming many times.


330. I have it ready for this evenings ride

I have little faith I'll hear it again though. Ive never heard it in all my years and I'm 50.

Can you come weed my strawberries?

Lol.
Long as there ain't no knocking going on.

These people are from DC and don't ha e a clue about anything country so im trying to help em out some.

I'm going to ask stan if hes heard the knocking before


Its mostly a hardwood area
Lots of oaks and I do know there's I e big butternut tree in thw hollar too.

Any ash trees nearby ?
Dead from borers ?
3 or so pecks between capture.
Warm weather has the larvae very active and they are just under the bark.
Could be several foraging as they are pretty thick in E, WV.

Could be a Raven.They make a variety of clicking low clucks and Knock sounds this time of year.

Bear?

I wondered that. There has been a bear spotted in This area over the last 3 or so months .

Would they do that noise?

Maybe a raven? I dont see many of them around
