I have at least one breeding pair of pileateds that come to my suet feeder on my deck, just about six feet from my living room window (I made them a special one on a big plank to support their tails). I keep watching the woods hoping to see where their nest is...no luck so far. They did wake me up one morning (I LEAPT out of bed) when they tried to excavate the vent hole on the side of my gas grill- it sounded like someone was jackhammering in my living room!Sheltiedochttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17413120330861291460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2552045987668023231.post-17653667792985372082010-04-19T21:47:18.293-04:002010-04-19T21:47:18.293-04:00The only one I've ever seen was in Yosemite Na...The only one I've ever seen was in Yosemite National Park off Tioga Road. I was with a group of birders led by the most excellent Gene Cardiff, and it was early in the morning, all shadowy. We heard the Pileated first, and then located him at the top of a dead pine. Just as we got our lenses focused on him, the sun came up over the ridge behind us and a ray of light set that red crest on fire like magic. It was an unforgettable moment. Have a great time nest-watching!Luisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04042236324318156854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2552045987668023231.post-87093888136839205412010-04-19T20:53:27.321-04:002010-04-19T20:53:27.321-04:00Is that cool or what (he asked rhetorically)?
