They never mentioned this was a Pileated woodpecker. I had to go to the video to see which woodpecker it was.

Most people don't know the difference. They assume they all look like Woody Woodpecker because they spend more time inside watching cartoons than in spending time in nature. I grew up a city kid in California and, honestly, I never saw a woodpecker of any kind until I moved to Arizona when I was in my 30's. Now they are daily visitors to my yard.

I was bow hunting about 25ft up in a tree when a Pileated landed above me and started hammering. I’m a large man and it was an accordingly large tree but boy my teeth we rattling!
