Bird Deterrents To Scare Birds Away From Your Property

I have a real issue with this red-bellied woodpecker. Everday, since last week, this woodpecker has been going to the same windows and tapping them over and over from around 8ish in the morning to the early evening.

Now I’ve read that this tapping has to do with mating or territory, but during the fall? This woodpecker taps constantly at the windows; if we scare it from one, it will fly and wait till we leave and then return and tap the window, or move to a different one and tap. It has even flown into the window a few times, on purpose.

I don’t know why it’s doing this, or if it’s normal. I wonder if it’s mentally ill or something? How can we stop this from continuing without harming it?

One last thing. Do they migrate? We live in MN, in the Twin Cities suburbs. We have never had this problem before, and now it just showed up last week and hasn’t left since.

Any advice would be helpful.
