Male Pileated Woodpecker |
It always exciting when Pileated Woodpeckers made a rare and raucous visit to the backyard. so I was delighted to hear loud calls and got my camera and an extended capture of a male. The other two - one of which was a female made continuous calls for about 5 minutes while the male calmly pecked for food. They may have been a family unit but kept to heavy brush as is their nature and I couldn't see them clearly, but you can hear them on the video carrying on for over five minutes. Do not know what the significance of the calling was, but I suspect it was the parents and a newly fledged young pileated. Like Blue Jays they have a tendency not to keep a low profile when they are taking out their kids for the first time. Very few birds get me as excited as the sudden raucous appearance of the Pileateds! And to get them away from a feeder in a natural setting is hard to do - they rarely stay still very long.
