It's warming up outside. Were at 42F right now.
I wonder if the weather had anything to do with it. Maybe it was too cold to find food in a tree -vs- the warmer aspects of your log house. Bugs, grubs and trees do freeze. Could be once it's cold enough the trees which have more moisture than my logs are harder to penetrate?
If pigs could fly bacon would be harder to come by and there would be a lot of damaged trees.

I dunno! But I have snapped some rather large trees off with the tractor while they were still frozen. Last week would have been a great time to snap trees out. March is coming, and that is the best time to get the roots and all out!

Some years back we were building log homes One log home was hidden in a nice wooded lot & was swarmed by woodpeckers! It was almost funny, till we had to repair & replace wood that it would destroy. A few well placed nails flying from a pnuematic nailer would chase them off, then they would return. There were no insects in the new material, we figured it was the fresh smell of wood that attracted them. we had owl decoys that we dangled from tree branches high up close to the peak of the house. we used masons string & the breeze would move the decoy, did the trick.

Still hasn't come back. I think he's gone.

Could be Frozen trees, and the house was a bit warmer!
Not too far out of the realm of possibilities!
