Hi All— On 21 May I recaptured a Pileated Woodpecker in Northfield that I originally banded on 3 November 2010. Since I band relatively few Pileateds, I wondered if a three-year-old Pileated is among the oldest on record, but it turns out to be a far cry from a 12-year-old Maryland bird. A photo of a remarkably angry Pileated Woodpecker is on my blog. http://dantallmansbirdblog.blogspot.com/
