We have lots of pileated woodpeckers in our woods.
They sound like little jackhammers pounding away at the dead wood. It's fun to watch them peck away searching for bugs with little woodchips flying everywhere.      BooBooBearBecky |

How can you tell male from female?
 I saw this one last week.  One of its pecking holes.

The male has a red moustache. Here is one I took in the front garden.

Yes and so huge.
I saw something big hoping my way along the ground. I thought at first it was a partridge being so big, then I noticed the black coloring and thought a crow but that changed as well when I saw the red....Hmmmm a pheasant? Nope! As it finally rounded the brush I could tell right away it was a piliated but on the ground? Silly bird....

A lot of woodies, especially the flickers, eat ants and forage for them on the ground.
