Thanks, downeaster. We had a large palm taken out because our neighbor was complaining that the fronds brushed their roof, but it never occurred to us that the thing was a "tree" and didn't ask anyone's permission.
Also ... one day afterwards I saw our neighbor stride angrily out of the house wearing her bathrobe and come around the corner to catch the palm in action as it was making the noise that kept her and her husband up all night. She was quite startled to see that it was gone. I was quite mirthful at her expression.
Personally, I think it's squirrels on their roof.
