I wonder if he liked the sound - woodpeckers hammer on different things as a mating/territorial call.
I have one that likes to hammer on my tin chimney cap - holy hell does that ring out for some distance. He’s clearly saying “wherever this can be heard is my land”.
Just wish he’d do it at 6:30 so the over sleepers in my family would get up, haha
(Also pretty sure this gif is fake, aren’t woodpecker eyes on the side of their heads?)

Surprising we can see the eyes like that - nature is pretty wild
