Red-headed terrorists

Turns out NASA and I have something in common. Read down a bit and there is a photo and post about a woodpecker destroying a tree out front by pecking off the bark. Actually the tree was already dead. So, a NASA official on television the other night: It seems they have to keep a stuffed owl on the launch pad at Cape Canaveral. It is there to chase woodpeckeers who peck at the fuel tanks on the launch vehicles and actuallly nest in them. I am guessing it is that foam that keeps fallling off. Now we know why.
