Puzzle Description:

What phrase does this represent?

#1: Joe (infrapinklizzard) on Jan 29, 2019 [HINT]

After LL
Edge Logic 9 c22 = r20-25 white
LL
EL 5 c39 = r3 w
LL
EL 3 c45 = r1-5 w
Summing logic:
Rows 1-5 have ten pixels that must be in the upper section.
Even if all the clues in c40-44 that can be in the upper section are there, then the 5 in c39 must still go up into r5 to make the tenth pixel.
LL to finish

Found to be solvable with moderate lookahead by infrapinklizzard.

Big Peck! lol!

Loved the solve!
#5: Kristen Vognild (KRISTEN) on Jan 30, 2019 [SPOILER]
Tall peck! Thin peck! Art Deco peck!

#6: Joe (infrapinklizzard) on Jan 30, 2019 [HINT] [SPOILER]
Nobody's close yet. The exclamation point is there for a reason.
#7: Kristen Vognild (kristen) on Jan 30, 2019 [SPOILER]
Gregory Peck sure was tall!
#8: Joanne Firla (JoFirla) on Jan 31, 2019 [SPOILER]
I think that's chicken lingo for ATTACK!!!

Imagine someone shouting this. What's going on?

@#5: Kristen, You never cease to crack me up. "Art Deco peck." That's fantastic.

As for my guess, does it have something to do with the pecking order? (If the exclamation point indicates a command...)
#11: Joe (infrapinklizzard) on Jan 31, 2019 [SPOILER]
You got it, Aurelian. It's the pecking order!
#12: Aurelian Ginkgo (AurelianGinkgo) on Jan 31, 2019
Yay!

Thanks for the hints. Your series gets the brain ticking.
#13: Kristen Vognild (kristen) on Feb 2, 2019
Ohhhhh! Now I get it! :)
