Taking a walk in early March I came across this pileated and took a short video. He looked pretty busy. I was hoping he would start pecking at some point, because they are very loud (that's how you can spot them usually). At least its distinctive call can be heard. Feel bad this year that the largest North American woodpecker, the Ivory Bill, was officially put on the extinct species list. There had been alleged sightings in the Southeast by credible sources throughout 2005, but that was the end of the reports we heard about it. (Still hoping it was indeed found and put on the extinction list to prevent hordes of undesirable attention).

I have so many on my property that, as I was reading this post, I grabbed my phone and took this picture from my home office window.
I generally leave dead trees standing, they basically act as feeding stations. |

About a week ago, while taking my walk in a very wooded area. I came within 30 feet of two Pleated Woodpeckers.
Neither of them seemed to mind me standing there watching them, as they pecked away on a fallen log.

Interesting video presentation of the research evidence linked in this article:

When I was growing up in Louisiana we called the pileated woodpeckers "Tarzan birds" because you could hear them in all the Johnny Weissmuller Tarzan movies.

This guy was right outside my window. You can see how much it has trashed the tree.

From the article.
“No one has held a camera and got a picture of one in years because it’s a scarce bird in tough swampy habitat and they don’t want people close to them because they’ve been shot at for 150 years,” said Geoffrey Hill, a biologist who unsuccessfully tried to spy the bird in Florida in 2005. “They have better eyes than we do, they are high in the trees and actively flee people. They aren’t great thinkers but they have developed a pretty simple strategy to avoid people.” I almost have to feel sorry for them now in this day of drones chasing around bird hunting. How will this effect them? |

We've had a redheaded woodpecker visiting our bird feeder here in northeastern Florida. And it even gets along with a family of bluebirds munching on mealworms in our flat feeder.
