Pileated Woodpecker

Pileated Woodpeckers regularly show up for apple harvest. It's quite a sight to see them rear their heads and hammer their beaks into the apple and watch apple pieces flying everywhere.

Pileated Woodpeckers need mature trees in order to excavate their 7-inch across nesting cavities. This fledgling was being fed tasty carpenter ants.
