Pileated Woodpecker

Paul Demkovich

This male Pileated Woodpecker was hanging around our yard and calling to a female that was answering. He stayed in our yard, foraging from tree to tree.

I continued following the movements of both birds and found them drilling a nest hole on the north side of a dead pine in the preserve behind our house. Lucky spot! I’ve been watching them daily as they progress on drilling the nest hole.
