Dryocopus pileatus
My favorite woodpecker, the pileated woodpecker. Our largest woodpecker. Wears a red cap. Likes to make large holes in trees. Favorite food is carpenter ants.
This pileated woodpecker was spotted in the woods near our campsite at Palmetto Island State Park in Abbeville, Louisiana. Difficult to get a picture of him because of all the bushes and sticks. He finally became aware of me and flew away.
