The Return of the Big Pecker


Lately there has been an incredible hammering coming from somewhere to the north.

When the wind is right you can hear it from a distance of a half a mile or more.

It's one of my feathered friends the pileated woodpecker.

As per usual he's completely hollowed-out an old dead birch.

That bird - about the size of a large crow - actually weakened the tree so much that the top half fell to the ground.

He's still at it.

If this wasn't on my neighbor's property I'd put the game camera up and take some pictures of him hard at work.
