The Pileated Woodpecker is one of the biggest, most striking forest birds on the continent. It’s nearly the size of a crow, black with bold white stripes down the neck and a flaming-red crest. Look (and listen) for Pileated Woodpeckers whacking at dead trees and fallen logs in search of their...

Beautiful. My favorite Woodie. I have some around and though I seldom see them, the last two years, one has shown up at my feeders. He only comes a couple of times and stays a few minites. At least, a couple of times that I've seen.
I have seen them in California, Oregon, and Missouri. Never got a good photo, though.

I have them in my backyard in south eastern Mass, and I have seen them while hiking in northern Vermont. I still haven't gotten a good image of them. I always spot them in terrible light or when they are too far up in a tree

We have them in south eastern Indiana but they are very shy and very hard to get close up shots.

CT they are numerous and year Round. I have them on my property at times.
Ralph, if your not seeing any come down here sometime. I have great areas in CT and they are crazy, Animated calling flying tree to tree, cackling a Lot. Best time for photos is nesting season though, then you got em once you have a nest location.
Now, Im seeing a lot but they tend to stay higher up.

Pretty much universal east of the Mississippi and across the northern planes and NW…absent in the SW according to Peterson’s.
