Discovered this when I was cleaning the chimney. Only thing I can guess is a woodpecker maybe a pileated woodpecker saw his his reflection and thought it was a rival. It dented it in about ¼ inch. Had to recock the flashing also sprayed painted the area so he wont see himself again.

LOL dents are too small for a Pileated more like a Hairy
I think that's what they do every springs to attract females, mail boxes are
targeted too.
Yes - woodpeckers make noise in the spring to establish its territory by banging on different things - just about every spring one starts banging on my rain gutter real early in the morning - drives me nuts - have to go out the front door and chase him away - maybe some big bird just flew into the chimney - they are always flying into things - like my patio windows
My son parked his Magic Wagon out back. The piliateds broke all of has mirrors. The y have also attacked the wooden trim on the house. Wife hates them....
The buggers would rat-a-tat on the metal siding of my barn:whacked:......................Daniel
I read that woodpeckers hait shiney objects. Isn't that correct?
