Pileated Woodpecker

[Jonataun]

I live in Southeast Iowa and I've had several confirmed sightings of pileated woodpeckers.

I thought I was in woodpecker territory, but now I think I may actually BE a woodpecker! What should I do!?

[ImaginationBlue]

You guys are amazing! Thank you for sharing this amazing video, first time I've heard of you. I hope I make it there someday.

there's one alive pecking the chimney in my house right now. Then again it pecks so fast and from what I see in this video, it doesn't peck fast (o_o ) so what's pecking my chimney??

[MaggotF0rLife]

@pinoyALLmotorEVOIXMR It's probably a different kind of Woodpecker. A smaller one with a regular sized neck.

@WeCanKnowDottCom You're disgusting and full of bullshit. Reported as spam.

They are in Knightdale, NC along the Neuse river. I've had more than one sighting of these wonderful birds.

How do these birds pound a hole in a tree without crushing their skulls? It must take tremendous force to do that, and they have hallow bones?

[halite001]

@5277407There is research into this... Also why they don't get headaches. See doi:10.1136/bjo.86.8.843

That was awesome! Interesting seeing them in a different setting. Ours navigate around in blizzards and in snowy trees!

[bbbtttoooppp]

Great Job.

[yellowdart137]

that's an awfully big pecker!

with all that hard wood laying around i can see why a big pecker is needed.

those big peckers are pros with their tongues too. they sure know how to use their tongues on that hard wood.

I was just picking pears in the backyard.Up on top of the ladder with an extension so I could reach the big one...when all a sudden I heard a pileated`s sound and turned to see it.Out from the trees it shot squacking wildly then right behind it was a red hawk...zeroing in.The pileated did a loop like fighter jet squacking away and the hawk followed only a few feet behind,again the pileated did another loop turning to it`s side this time and shot back into the treeline escaping
