The Ornithology class at Hudson Valley Community College is involved in a research project on woodpeckers and the costly damage they inflict on houses and other buildings annually.
The students have just finished searching and reading the scientific literature to discover what is already known about this phenomenon. They hope to test some of their own ideas by studying damaged houses in the Hudson Valley.
If woodpeckers have pounded holes in your house, we’d like to know about it. We need to compile a list of homes and homeowners who are willing to let us gather data on their buildings, yards and birds.
If you would be willing to volunteer your property for this study, please call Jamie in the Biology Department at HVCC at 629-7453.
