#pileatedwoodpecker — Public Fediverse posts

(Posting in my personal capacity.) “The #PileatedWoodpecker digs characteristically rectangular holes in trees to find ants. These excavations can be so broad and deep that they can cause small trees to break in half.”(Source: https://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Pileated_Woodpecker/overview)

Ha-ha-ha-HA-ha

Okay, I know the inspiration for Woody was the acorn woodpecker, but if any real woodpecker looks like him, the pileated woodpecker (Dryocopus pileatus) is the one. This photo even has a bit of a cartoon feel to it. I caught this bird as it burst out of the forest behind my house — I just raised my camera and snapped, almost like skeet shooting. I didn’t even realize what kind of bird it was until later.

Pileated Woodpecker

> "A big, dashing bird with a flaming crest, the Pileated Woodpecker is the largest extant woodpecker in North America"
- National Audubon Society

These birds bore deep into dead trees to feast on carpenter ants, which are quite abundant here.

A pair of pileated 'peckers #RVA #PileatedWoodpecker

I came across this very weird death yesterday in Gatineau Park, Quebec. It appears that this Pileated died while sitting on the tree and stayed stuck there. It's been very cold so maybe he froze? But what was he doing there? It's a strange place to hunker down for a cold night.

I never quite get the full wingspan when it's a pileated woodpecker. #birds #birding #birdwatching #birdphotography #wildlife #wildlifephotography #photography #nature #naturephotography #HoosierMast #pileatedWoodpecker
