None that I am aware of but, if you are an old wife you could observe the
occurrences surrounding the drumming and create your own old wives tale. Or,
if you are a wise woman, you can create a new bit of wisdom. Perhaps, if the
woodpecker drums at your chimney, you will hear good news of a distant
relative or..... if you hear a woodpecker drumming on your chimney on St.
Martha's Day, a plentiful harvest is on the way but heard on St. Anthony's
day, famine is sure to stay.
The possibilities are endless. :-)
