Woodpeckers

[SideShow Bob]

Anyone here have to deal with Woodpeckers ?

No Bert not that kind of Woodpeckers............

I woke up this morning at about 0630, to what sounded like the neighbor was building a fence, a constant slow banging sound similar to someone not too handy with a hammer trying to build something.
After about 3 hours of this, I went into the spare bedroom to look out the window to see who was attempting some home owner repairs.
Lo and behold, there was a Woodpecker perched low and between the double windows pecking away at the wood trim. I opened a window and it startled & flew away.
I went outside and found that there are 3 quarter sized holes where that damn bird was perched, and a multitude of pin holes surrounding the bottom 1/4 of one of the windows.
Does anyone know if the Woodpecker will return ? And what can I do to keep it away ?
this Is the first time in the almost 10 years of living here that I have even seen or heard of Woodpeckers in this Hood.
