The pileated woodpecker is one of the more striking characters of New York’s woodlands. Ubiquitous across the state, its bright red crest and propensity for vocalization make it hard to miss.

Great photo, Tom!
Thanks Wayne!
Excellent shot with an intriguing composition. Why was it on a rock? Did it find bugs?

Thanks for your comment, Rick!
He was excavating on top of a fallen log for whatever invertebrates could be found. He was quite bold to my presence, allowing me to take some interesting photos.
Nice photo – where was it taken?
Thanks Elizabeth!
This photo was taken on the periphery of Skidmore’s Northwoods right nearby our chapel.
I was a bridesmaid at a wedding in the chapel. Long time ago!
Very cool! It’s a nice space.
