Her deck doesn't look exactly pristine to begin with. We often have trouble with woodpeckers and squirrels that actually make holes in your walls, and a huge mess when they actually get into your house. Water and a brush would clean that woman's deck up and then she should put some stain on it before it rots away.
We used to ride our tandem bicycles on a trail where there were Bald Eagles. Once on a downhill section of the trail a big one swooped in and grabbed the light I had mounted on my helmet with its talons. My wife watched in disbelief from the rear position. If my chin strap hadn't been fastened it would have flown off with my helmet.
Wow. That’s a great story.
