Benny-Maintenance Manager, here at our park was telling me yesterday about a large woodpecker he has seen on one of the trees. Today he caught me at the pool and told me it was on a nearby tree. I saw it as soon as I left the pool area.
A Pileated Woodpecker! Exciting!
I ran home for the camera/it was gone by the time I returned, but evidence of it being there was clear.
Pileated Woodpeckers excavate large holes in trees, leaving the shavings, in a pile, at the bottom of the tree. There must be bugs in this tree.
These holes are on another tree, the woodpecker is working on this one. I will have to take my chair down there and watch for it. Hopefully, pictures of it will soon be here!
