I would like to see a woodpecker that big..
On my land in Tx I have the Red Bellied Woodpecker and will leave some dead trees standing just for him.
(or them, as there may be 2 or more)

Slightly off subject but still on birds..
I was wildlife watching in my forest when nearly a dozen Blue Jays appeared to be hunting as a group..they were making a terrible racket trying to scare up insects is my guess. The worked their way as a group across the canopy and eventually disappeared.
It was interesting to me because I didnt know they hunted as a group and always thought they were solitary.
I wish there were more people like you
