Listen to the Pileated Woodpecker Call!

Just happened to catch two new to my area today in NW Indiana on the south shore of Lake Michigan. Was able to take a pic before they flew off from the yard into landtrust neighbors next door. Huge and lovely birds. Hope I keep seeing more daily.
I live in Appomattox, VA. Out in the sticks. We have these birds come through our property just about every evening in the spring. A very impressive bird.
We live in Southeast Texas. We have about 20 heavily wooded acres of hard wood, pine and other types of trees. We have lived here for over 30 years and they are here every year. It always amazes me how hard they peck those trees.
We have been feeding birds sunflower seeds for years in Hope, Arkansas, and have woodpecker suet pads on our pine tree. We noticed a pair of pileated woodpeckers last year and have been thrilled to see them this year. Thanks for the information about their nests. One has even pecked a large hold in a telephone pole in our front yard.
We have the woodpeckers at our cabin in the woods on the Ausable River in Crawford County, Northern Michigan. I feed them suet. We love them!
We have a pair across the road from us in the 3 Mile Bay Wildlife Area on Lake Oneida in West Monroe, NY.
We have a pair that regularly visit our yard. We live about a couple hundred yards from a creek and they have a great time there but we hear them and see them a lot. Just a couple of days ago I got lucky enough to be out under a tree cleaning up limbs from a storm and had one land in a tree about forty feet away from me. Love their noisy entry. They make quite a racket.
Sorry I forgot to say that I live in extreme south east Kansas and these guys are not unusual to see. We are very fortunate!
As a teen I heard and saw many of them while squirrel hunting in the hardwood forests near Parsons, Tn on the Tennessee River in the 1960s!
We have a pair that are regulars in our 10 acres of woods Last year they had 3 young which they brought to visit our sunflower and fat feeders we live in Cooks Creek Manitoba Canada near winnipeg
