Woodpecker

Woodpeckers, Pecking bird, Woodpecker drumming

The steady drumming of a woodpecker is hard to ignore, and in a dream that sound often stands for persistence. A woodpecker keeps tapping until it reaches what's hidden under the bark, so it can point to patient effort that's close to breaking through. If you heard it before you saw it, a thought or a task may be knocking at your mind. A woodpecker on your house hints that something near home wants looking after. Several drumming at once can signal a busy, noisy stretch.
