This morning the adult male pileated was at our suet feeder. A juvenile female was waiting in a nearby oak. When the adult flew to a dead snag in our yard, the juvenile female followed and was fed by the male. This follows multiple visits in the last couple weeks to our suet feeder by the adult female pileated. Each time, the female was accompanied by a juvenile male, which followed her around and she fed.

Watching a juvenile pileated learn skills from its parents is most entertaining this month. Both parents have been giving lessons on seed cakes, suet feeders, and tree trunks.

Good afternoon, This morning I watched a pileated woodpecker for a minute making his/her way up a maple tree on the south side of Stuart Ave., between Rankin and Madison. It was a little after 10 a.m. S/He flew to the pine trees on the north side of Stuart Ave., closely followed by a second pileated woodpecker. First time I've seen one of them since one scared me near Crosby Lake 12 - 15 years ago. First time I've ever seen a pair. It was great!

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.

[mou-net] Pileated Woodpecker behavior
While photographing feeder birds at a cabin in northern Minnesota this winter, I noticed something about Pileated Woodpeckers that I had not noticed in other birds. When I photograph birds, I know that I can move when they are not looking at me. So when they turn their heads or I can hide behind something to get a better position for a pic, the birds don't notice that something is happening because they do not see any motion. Often I can do the same thing if I just walk very slowly towards them and with as little side or up and down motion, I can get much closer to get better pics. I tried to do the same thing with each of a pair of Pileated Woodpeckers at this feeder at a cabin in the snow. I was in the cabin and had mastered my technique of getting to the best screenless window for pics along various sides of the large bin feeder. Suet cakes hung on one side. I continued to fail to be able to get good pics of the pileateds. They kept flying away at the least motion, I thought. So I began testing to see if they fled due to a certain type of motion or just a difference in the view the birds came back to when they turned their heads back towards me. After six frustrating days of blurry and strained pics of the frequent visiting pileateds, I concluded that unlike the finches, jays, nuthatches, hawks, and all the other birds present, the pileateds seemed unique in their ability to be able to detect even a minuscule change in the picture they saw in when they return their gaze to the cabin. They looked away and from inside the 3 season porch, with me standing hidden behind the wall between the large windows, I would simply hold my hand up when they looked away. They didn't fly as I raised my hand. They took off in a blink when they looked back and noticed something had changed. I test several variations and they only thing they didn't fly away from was a wire flyswatter handle that I held in the window. I don't know about you, but I struggle to solve those what is different in the two pictures puzzles. And here is a bird whose survival strategy includes noticing minute changes in a microsecond of looking back at an image they had seen once. Amazing! No wonder all my pileated shots are from a distance. Thomas Maiello Angel Environmental Management, Inc.

Re: [mou-net] Pileated Nest
Reporting this kind of information to the Cornell Lab of Ornithology's NestWatch can be invaluable in helping scientists tease out interesting things about habitat, timing, and other important elements of nesting. They encourage monitoring, but include on their website information about safe ways to monitor a nest while minimizing disturbing the birds. If you're concerned about people bothering the birds, you can delay contributing your data until the birds have finished. Thousands and thousands of nest record cards, collected by the Lab for many decades, are slowly but surely being digitized and added to the NestWatch data base. NestWatch is now replacing the cards, which are vulnerable to damage and can only be accessed in paper form until they're digitized. Like most of Cornell's citizen-science projects, there is no cost to submitting records to NestWatch. You can find it at www.nestwatch.org.

Re: [mou-net] Pileated Nest
Pileated's nesting in a pole while not common is not unusual, and I have observed pole nesting a number of times. What I did find unusual on one occasion was the location of the pole. About 10 years ago while leaving a large shopping center in Sarasota, FL, I observed a pair dutifully opening a nest hole in a utility pole at the intersection of two major heavily traveled 6 lane highways. I went back several times over a period of a week just prior to our return to MN and photographed both birds enlarging the hole and moving in and out of the hole and captured one shot of the female with a spray of wood chips over her head which she had just removed from the pole. While their nesting territory had been invaded they were not to be deterred. Bernard P.

Re: [mou-net] Pileated Woodpecker - Dakota County
Hi Bernard, Wow, so sorry to hear they are doing this for nesting, especially with plenty of trees to choose from. When they excavated your chaise/chimney wood, did they actually get into your chimney area? and is your fireplace a wood-burning or gas? My husband installs fireplaces for a living and he can't imagine what type of shelf or structure they found inside to nest on...?? Sometimes insects, such as carpenter ants will be the culprit if your WP's are pecking for food- the WP's are a great alarm call that something much worse is doing silent-but-deadly damage on your house than the Woody's...although it seems worse with their pecking because of the damage that is actually seen. With mating season approaching also, could it be they are drumming to call your home their territory but unfortunately doing damage in the process? We had trouble at our cabin with pine log siding 2 years agomy suet feeders were empty from not being able to get up there and replenish the suet, and the WP's discovered the white polka-dots on our siding which are actually Daddy log-legged spider eggs. We found that Home Defense sold at Menards or Fleet Farm is a great remedy to spray the perimeter of your whole house in the Spring, the first 3 feet from the ground (deck posts too). Daddy LL's won't crawl up then and no more polka-dot home. Have you seen any silky/fuzzy white spots in this area they are attacking?

[mou-net] Pileated Woodpecker
We have a pileated woodpecker coming to our suet feeder every day throughout the day. Why does it stay such a short time? I designed a feeder which my husband built that does not sway and is stable like a tree. But it still comes in and leaves quickly unlike the other woodpeckers that stay much longer. Is this typical for this magnificent bird? I have a large backyard and no external distractions (that I can see) which would spook it. Also, it never visits a bird bath. Pat S.
