We enjoy having pileated woodpeckers around. They are startlingly large and really do make a sound somewhat like Woody Woodpecker. Whenever one shows up at the suet feeder or on a tree near the house, we call one another to come see -- moving slowly so as not to startle them
Lately, however, a pileated has decided that the birch tree near the bird feeder is a good source of food, too. I suspect this indicates a good supply of sub-bark bugs. But the pileateds do a number on a tree and Tom doesn't want this tree destroyed. We have lots of old trees for the birds to peck, and we have lots of dead trees that they have shredded.
What to do, what to do?
