This time a Pileated Woodpecker. Seen in Sleepy Hollow Cemetery.

Interesting Facts. According to TheCornellLab:

The Pileated Woodpecker digs characteristically rectangular holes in trees to find ants. These excavations can be so broad and deep that they can cause small trees to break in half.

The feeding excavations of a Pileated Woodpecker are so extensive that they often attract other birds. Other woodpeckers, as well as House Wrens, may come and feed there.

The Pileated Woodpecker prefers large trees for nesting. In young forests, it will use any large trees remaining from before the forest was cut. Because these trees are larger than the rest of the forest, they present a lightning hazard to the nesting birds.

A Pileated Woodpecker pair stays together on its territory all year round. It will defend the territory in all seasons, but will tolerate new arrivals during the winter.

The oldest known Pileated Woodpecker was a male, and at least 12 years, 11 months old when he was recaptured and r-ereleased during banding operations in Maryland.
