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

Our apartment overlooks the Minneapolis Convention Center. This morning
I saw a Pileated Woodpecker flying over the Center. It is the most
unusual sighting from the apartment in the 8 years we have lived here.

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. Baby is trying its best but not very
adept yet and being fed by parents.

Posted this morning, a Pileated Woodpecker feeding on the ground in our
backwoods. The bird’s stance was interesting, with one foot leaning on the
tree trunk, and the other planted firmly on the ground:

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 secon
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.

Hi All--
Pileated Woodpeckers occasionally visit our suet feeders. I've been
noticing that the suet in the far feeder has been disappearing at an
alarming rate. A female Pileated appeared yesterday, the first of the
season. Coincidentally, this was a day after my fellow Northfield blogger

We have several feeders with sunflower chips and a suet feeder in our yard.
For the past couple of weeks we have been watching as adult pileated
woodpeckers have been feeding a young one that has a short, fuzzy red
topknot. Much to our surprise, suddenly there were 4 at the feeders at
once! The

Good morning! I saw a Pileated Woodpecker this morning at the Edge of

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

Hi All--
The highlight of the Red Wing (Minnesota) Christmas Bird Count for Erika and
me was a Pileated Woodpecker eating Hackerry fruit. The woodpecker put on
quite a show as I snapped photos. It fed on the outer twigs of the tree and
often lost its balance. I have posted several photos on my b
We have witnessed this interaction only once before, and it's
fascinating.
We watched a young Sharp-shinned Hawk repeatedly harassing the
somewhat larger-sized Pileated Woodpecker. The hawk would post itself
higher in a tree, and each time the Pileated relocated, the hawk
would attack. Th

Pileated's nesting in a pole while not common is not unusual, and I

On the corner of 37th and Queen Ave N, Minneapolis. A Pileated Woodpecker
was spotted at a backyard bird feeder. My husband and I thought this very
unusual, since the area isn't near any parks or wooded areas. There was only
one, so I wonder if it was just a fly over that happened on some food?
