| We saw the Pileated Woodpecker in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan in September of 2011. He was sitting on the ground by this old tree stump. He would not move so I could get a good body shot. |
 |
| These birds can grow as long as 16 inches. He is a large, long-necked, long-tailed bird. His bill is massive. They have brownish-black back, wings, and tail. Bright crimson-red crest, thin white eyebrow;wide black eye-stripe, white line from above bill to down neck. The male has pale eyes. |
 |
| They like mature forests, or young forests with large dead and fallen trees. |
