I don't mean to be birdwatching before I'm retired but…
What kind of bird does this? I’m told a “wood chipper” but googling this name doesn’t yield anything relevant. Could it be a Vermont name for a wood pecker? Certainly that tree wasn’t just pecked at.
If I had to guess I’d say a pterodactyl with a chainsaw for a beak.
Owl
A presence that fascinates the humans & unnerves the poultry.
