I bet you must mean mean a pileated woodpecker? Yes - they ARE awesome!

They are HUGE, prehistoric looking birds. Love 'em, can't get enough of seeing them.

Pilated Woodpecker

[Humidston]

So you love pileated woodpeckers? We have one in our neighborhood (N of Houston in the woods) and he is LOUD! Right after we moved in, he buzzed my dog and cat on the driveway and scared them to death! (Quite comical to watch.)

Someone else mentioned the hummers have left the north... Yep. They're all down south now, fighting like bandits over our feeder, LOL!

For anyone who 'brews' their own sugar water - Boil water and sugar on the stove. Pour off half or 3/4 and set aside to cool for feeder. In remaining water (in the pan), drop in lemon wedges and mint, let steep for 5-10 min. Scoop out mint and lemon, pour into a container and refrigerate. SWEETEN ICED TEA WITH IT.... DEEELICIOUS! (And it lasts for at least a week, probably two.)
