Early one morning on the farm all of a sudden an alarm clock sounded off. Trouble is it was outside somewhere. Then it went off again and again. Total mystery.
Finally, we found the source. It was some kind of pecker pecking the galvanized steel pipe supporting the electric line attached to the house.
