I don't have a clear picture in my mind of Woody, the Woodpecker, but your birds remind me of him. Anyone know if Woody was fashioned after the pileated?
Yes...they are very cool ancient looking birds. I spot a few on our dead logs now and again. Never on our feeders.
I wish you had all the ones we have here in Florida. They wreak havoc on my trees. The smaller Flickers bore holes for nests in my oaks, and the Pileateds take down whole limbs. They have even ruined a few telephone poles in my neighborhood.
