A woodpecker in a Rockport, Massachusetts, neighborhood is known to frequent the local woods, often drilling into dead trees, but he's taken on a new target — the car mirrors and windshields in town. Witnesses say the pileated woodpecker stands about 18 to 20 inches tall. It has a black and white body and a distinctive red head. The woodpecker has been caught on camera perching on cars and trucks and drilling into the side mirrors, leaving some cracked and others shattered.

One of Boston's modern landmarks, the CITGO sign over Kenmore Square, is being moved to ensure its visibility for years to come. The restoration and repositioning of the sign is the final piece of the redevelopment project at 660 Beacon St. A sign at that location first became part of the Boston skyline in 1940, but at the time, it had a different logo. The original sign said "Cities Service," which was a brand name prior to the creation of the CITGO brand and triangle-shaped logo in 1965.

Nearly 50 years ago, a 14-year-old student taking an oceanography class penned a message in a bottle. Decades later, the letter's author forgot all about the note until two brothers stumbled across it and made it a mission to find him. After years on land, beachcombing brothers Clint and Evan Buffington made plans to scour the coast in a trip that almost didn't happen when they both got sick. However, fate has a way of stepping in, and they made it to a remote island in the Bahamas.
