Pileated Woodpecker
Pileated Woodpecker (Dryocopus pileatus)
Adults (40-49 cm long, 250-350 g weight) are mainly black with a red crest and a white line down the sides of the throat. Adult males have a red line from the bill to the throat and red on the front of the crown. In adult females, these are black. They show white on the wings in flight. The only North American birds of similar plumage and size are the Ivory-billed Woodpecker of the Southeastern United States and Cuba, and the related Imperial Woodpecker of Mexico. Both of those species are extremely rare, if not extinct.

Their breeding habitat is forested areas with large trees across Canada, the eastern United States and parts of the Pacific coast. They usually excavate large nests in the cavities of dead trees, and often excavates a new home each year, creating habitat for other large cavity nesters.
This bird is usually a permanent resident.
These birds mainly eat insects (especially beetle larvae and carpenter ants) as well as fruits, berries and nuts. They often chip out large and roughly rectangular holes in trees while searching out insects.
The call is a wild laugh, similar to the Northern Flicker. Its drumming can be very loud, often sounding like someone striking a tree with a hammer. This bird favors mature forests, but has adapted to use second-growth stands and heavily wooded parks as well.

The northern shrike is known also as the butcher bird due to its unusual practice of impaling prey on thorns or barbed wire

Someone called me to ask if I would take a picture of this bird, it was walking around the neighborhood and they did not know what kind of bird it was.
I jumped in my car and drove to where they said it was and there was this cormorant walking around the neighborhood, I think one of the folks called someone to come and see if it was hurt.
I realized after it was May 5 and the 24 hours of Flickr was on that day so Here was my opportunity to put in a great shot of one of these lovely birds.
