Sir Pileated
Woodpecker, we'd be glad if
you'd choose to nest here
Happy to hear you
cackle and see you explore
that old snag back there
But please avoid deck,
or risk tree trunk removal
by live-in gardener
Also, are red-tailed
hawks a danger to your young?
Because some live near
Still, what hawk would dare
tangle with a beak of such
strength and drive as yours?
May you like said trunk
that we can thrill for a time
at your cackle and crest

I especially like this one about the woodpecker!
Thanks, as always, Peggy! I'd guess you're hearing him too. His cackle is coming from your direction.
