WORLD'S LARGEST HOCKEY STICK TARGET OF WOODPECKER

A woodpecker is ruffling some feathers after trying to carve a home into the
world's largest hockey stick in Duncan, B.C.

In North Cowichan, B.C., there is a woodpecker – or possibly two – that have
been causing concern about the state of the world's largest hockey stick.

The pesky little woodpecker has been slowly popping a hole through the
61,000-pound Douglas fir hockey stick attached to the Cowichan Community Centre
over the past two weeks.

"I thought it was looking for bugs but now I’m not sure," said community member
Marion Martin.



It's mating season for woodpeckers and according to one Victoria birder, food is
not this woodpecker's motivation.

"The hole that he is making there is definitely a potential nest cavity," said
Ann Nightingale, a Victoria-based birder.

Lorraine Francisty is a figure skating coach at the arena. She was the first to
discover the northern flicker and its exploits.

"I came out of the arena and saw the bark mulch on the ground and looked up and
there it was," said Francisty.

She alerted arena staff who got up there in a picker and plugged the hole with
steel wool.

"Then a week later I noticed the birds had pulled the plugging out," said
Francisty.

She has seen two separate woodpeckers here over the past few weeks, possibly a
male and female.

"I think this one has a mate," said Nightingale. "My guess is this is a male."

Arena staff then covered the hole with a steel plate, prompting the persistent
pecker to find a new part to drill.

NEXT STEPS

Francisty has concerns about the damage being done to the town's iconic
landmark.

"Well, I’d like it to move along," said Francisty. "I’d like to protect our
hockey stick."



But how do you convince a bird, dead set on making a home in this massive piece
of real estate with a view, to move along?

"It’s really hard to discourage them, but one of the things you can do is to set
them up with a better house," said Nightingale.

The birder suggests setting up a nest box in the area. But that alone won’t be
the solution as woodpeckers can be picky.

"Fill it full of wood chips because they love to throw the wood chips out of the
nest cavity, it makes them feel like they’re actually building it," said
Nightingale.

"You might be able to draw the birds away from the stick with better housing,"
she said.

Recreation centre staff say the plan is to bring in another lift to inspect the
hole. If a nest has already been established, they say they want what's best for
the family of birds and will leave them alone for the season.
