Wow. I live right next door to Shu. As I was walking to my car this morning,
I heard what I thought was a pileated, drumming and calling. Saying to myself,
"Dream on, baby" I dismissed my wishful thinking and continued on to the car.
DOH! Fingers crossed it discovers my feeders!

Subject: [nysbirds-l] Pileated Woodpecker, Shu Swamp, Nassau County
Apologies to the listserv’s readers north of NYC who will find this report
somewhat laughable, but this species is still a great bird for Long Island.
There is a Pileated Woodpecker being seen along the trails around the pond at
Shu Swamp this morning. It appears to be favoring the area beyond the
boardwalks along the Red Trail, though it moves around a lot. I personally last
heard it somewhere near the service road to the south of that spot. Listen for
drumming and calling, it occasionally disappears but rarely stays quiet for
long.
Cheers!
