We have been on our acreage for 17 years but had never seen a Pileated Woodpecker. Now we are so happy that we have seen this female several times at our feeders over the last month.
When we moved here we had so many red squirrels we tried to protect the bird feeders from them. Then for years we had not seen any. Last fall we saw two on and off collecting spruce cones on both the east and west sides of the house. With winter we found we still have 2 and until we get squirrel feeders built, we are letting them share the nuts at the bird feeders. It is wonderful to have them back. This fellow seems to have a game of chase figured out with a Magpie where they take turns chasing each other; it is so much fun to watch.
