The noise he made when banging his head against the pole was so loud, kind of like that of a small jackhammer, I can't imagine the percussion effect on his brain.
There was a second bird locally and they seemed to be taking it in turns to communicate with each other. The Pileated Woodpecker have probably settled here again for a few months, they prefer mature forest and may spend up to six weeks excavating a large nest cavity in a dead or decaying tree.

Hi, folks:
I enjoy your Nature Watch blog. One of my favorite birds is the Pileated Woodpecker. You and your readers might enjoy my 7 minute YouTube video. I observed this family for 6 months. Do a search for 2009 Pileated Woodpecker Nest.

Hi there, glad to see someone is looking in from time to time. We have had several over the last week in the garden.
