Dan Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 Awesome photo. Pileated Woodpeckers are my arch enemy. I live in a log house - they can peck a hole the size around of a tennis ball in a window frame in just a few minutes. And they aren't easily scared off, without coming right back. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your'e lucky to even have them. I've only seen pileated Woodpeckers once or twice in my whole life. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tclarkwood Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 I have some new woodpeckers! I just wanted to post that I have recently noticed either 2 or 3 Pilieated Woodpeckers on my property. I still cannot tell if it is an adult pair with one chick or if it is one adult with two chicks. Anyway, this is exciting for me because I have always wanted to observe these birds and I have never had the opportunity to watch them until now. I use my iphone to play a call and it gets them excited. They will respond to the recording on my phone and come closer to me to see if I am a woodpecker. I hope they stay around for a while. The habitat is pretty good for them since it very mature hardwoods in a bottom drainage area. It stays damp when it rains but it can dry out. So far this year I have had Barred Owl, Red-Shouldered Hawks and now Pilieated Woodpeckers behind my house. Very cool! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
