Pileated woodpecker grooming, preening on green ash tree. Notice recent gouges on tree bark. Woodpecker repeatedly visits this tree right off our second story balcony. He flies from the tree to the screened sliding doors, grabs hold and looks at his reflection on the glass. He often lets out repeated gawks, throwing his head back and "singing." Don't know if he's claiming territory with this behavior or admiring his reflection and commenting on it.June 2009, Greencastle IN
Wow, I can't believe he smashed into the window like that! You are SO lucky to be able to see one up close!
