Mom and Junior Looking for Breakfast!
An adult and juvenile Pileated Woodpecker searching for insects in the bark of an old Douglas Fir tree next to the path on the way to the woodshed. Interesting to see the lighter coloured “head apparel” in this year’s youngster.
The Pileated Woodpecker is a very large North American woodpecker, roughly crow-sized, inhabiting deciduous forests in eastern North America, the Great Lakes, the boreal forests of Canada, and parts of the Pacific coast. It is also the largest woodpecker in the United States, excepting the possibly extinct Ivory-billed Woodpecker.
