Palm Tree Pecker

What tap-taps on the palm tree?
It’s red head bobbing greedily
Inside the tree a hole is pecked
Within which hides treasured insects
What shriek-shrieks assertively?
Wanting a taste of the bounty
The woodpecker is not deterred
Ignoring the cries of the coveting bird

Red-bellied Woodpecker
