Had the same woodpecker at my house. Thought the corner board was a tree -- I had the Audobon folks here about it and another reason that Woodpeckers may use your house as a tree, it the area they are using emits a sound, like bugs do and that is what attracks the wood pecker. This 'sound' can be caused by the electrial wiring. So if there is electrical wiring on the inside of the house in the area where the bird is pecking, this could be a reason. My house is 200 years old, so anything is possible
