Here’s a short video clip of two pileated woodpeckers I filmed in Naples earlier last fall.
They are really fun birds to watch at work, and whenever I look at them, I’m struck by thoughts of the ivory billed woodpecker, what it looked like “alive in the flesh” (or rather — feathers), and if they are still out there.
I heard, but did not see, a pileated woodpecker when I was up in Maryland.
That speaks volumes of that bird’s range, and also goes to show: there’s more out there than meets the eye.
The search for the ivory bill continues.
