I first saw this majestic creature during last winter and I almost crashed my car because it is so amazing in person. I have seen many woodpeckers in my life but never one so huge!!! This bird almost seems prehistoric! Normal woodpeckers usually tap the tree with their beak and their whole body moves but this Pileated Woodpecker swings it’s head back and pecks much louder with it’s beak than a normal woodpecker. It has large talons on it’s massive feet that move down the tree like a lumberjack. Truly a spectacular bird. This is the only picture I’ve been able to get of it so far but I hope to see more as fall and winter approach
