I heard a big chunks falling off a tree to the ground. It was a pileated woodpecker destroying a tree. He was in search of bugs to eat and was tearing chunks of bark off the tree.
They may be starting to nest. There is a lot more activity in the woods. Get out and enjoy a walk in the woods. Unplug from your devices and enjoy nature’s sounds. Enjoy the rest of your weekend!

It is amazing how big these guys can make the holes in trees. We love watching them on our walks. Happy Sunday Sharon. Allan

It took out a pretty big chunk of bark before I started taking pictures.

They are here. I just haven’t been lucky enough to encounter one. See pics of them from other folk I know.

Find out where. They usually like large grassy areas like farms or wildlife areas.
