On Sat. when I went to my mailbox on North Sunset Drive Ithaca, I noticed that my neighbors had a spotting scope aimed on a tree trunk. There were 2 Pileated Woodpeckers scurrying up and down the tree. I was told that they had been there for a least one hour. I got my binocs and watched for around 10 minutes and ultimately they chased each other to the ground and flew off. What a thrill on a glorious gardening day.
