I was camping in Killbear Provincial Park in Ontario about five years ago, and I woke up to the sound of a woodpecker. When I exited my tent I was delighted to see that it was a pileated woodpecker knocking on a tall pine. I watched it for a bit and realized that there were two, and they moved around the tree until they were on either side of the trunk at the same height! It looked almost like a cuckoo clock!

"Any day with a pileated woodpecker is a good day. " - YES! I love hearing their loud call echo through the early morning trees. I was just saying I haven't seen any for way too long, having been moved away from one of the trails I walked last year because it was inundated with people. A number of years ago I had the great good fortune to stumble into the coming out party for 2 fledglings. Omg, giant baby woodpeckers are definitely one of the coolest things I've ever experienced! Beautiful writing, beautiful artwork. Thank you.
