    I don’t think the color has anything to do with the attraction of woodpeckers. Another friend of ours has a gray cabin and they have had issues with woodpeckers too. As far as I know, the only endangered species of woodpeckers is the Red-Cockaded Woodpecker which is in the southeastern states. However, I don’t shoot any birds, woodpeckers included.

    I like all your ideas. My house is not brown so I don’t have bird attack issues. Just please don’t do like my neighbor does and shot the woodpeckers. One or both species are endangered. Remember we moved into their neighborhood.

    vnj, I was thinking the same thing. Bear Valley is a very small community on Hwy 49 at the junction of Bear Valley Road.

    All BTV residents should plan outdoor picnics. Sure to rain.

    Perhaps you could schedule a simultaneous snow dance for all Big Trees Village residents!

    Last seen in Fresno and Bear Valley.
    Is that “our” Bear Valley, or the Bear Valley that is only an hour and a half from Fresno? Certainly hope he is found. The parents must be frantic.

    Hi Everyone,
    I saw this on our local news and thought it might be wise to post a link here in case anyone has seen this young man. Let’s hope and pray for his safe return. Link below:

    Yay! Looks like my last fix worked. Now… what to do to make it rain / snow through February, March, and April????
    Any ideas?

    Unfortunately, my initial attempts to get the station and cameras back on line have failed. It’s going to take more troubleshooting than I have time for at the moment so it may not be until this weekend that I can get to it. The forecast and road condition links still work.

    FYI, I had to do some re-arranging which has taken all the weather station and cameras off line. Hopefully I’ll be able to get them running again soon.

    Our neighbor used to have a lot of woodpeckers. He used some netting and it works great. Seems the woodpeckers are afraid of it and stay away. His cabin is brown so you can’t even see the netting unless you are up close. If you want any info about the netting, pm me and I will give you his phone number.

    @airedog – What are you doing to help reduce further infestation?

    I just filled up my portable propane tanks this morning (1/28/2014) and it was $3.04 a gallon without tax. Ebbetts Pass Gas.

    There are skunks in BTV, but not as many as you probably have in the Bay Area. There was one on upper Moran road yesterday that had been run over. We saw it on our way to the dump.

    I thought I saw one run under our neighbors deck a while ago. I started to go investigate and then I came to my senses (pun intended). Then we had one pop up on the “tree” camera about a month or so ago.
