The laughing call and rhythmic drumming of the pileated woodpecker often echo through the forest at the back of my property. The pileated is 17 inches in size, it's a big bird.

Thank you so much for putting my photo of the Redpoll from yesterday on the PP, so pleased you liked him!
fab capture. We have on behind our house .

I 'd love to see such a big woodpecker! While up the coast visiting our daughter, I hear the woodpeckers all the time, but they're small. I did, however, photograph some cut trees that were set aside and they're peppered with little holes!
