We have several dead oaks that are among the pileated woodpecker's favorites. This one, however, will be coming down soon. It has been dead and rotting for years and is too close to the driveway. But no worries, there are plenty more as the big trees continue to be lost to storms and disease.
As it lifts off we get a rare view of the white stripes of the upper wing.
jealousy is seeping out of ever pore!
