[cayugabirds-l] Pileated Woodpecker drumming
Hi all, On my walk on Mt Pleasant Road this morning, around 11 I heard the drumming of a Pileated Woodpecker echoing from deep in the woods on the south side of the road. With the lengthening days, it won't be long before some of our other winter residents start adding to the chorus. Maybe they already are elsewhere in the region? Also a lone Snow Bunting along the roadside. 'Bout time they showed up!

[cayugabirds-l] Pileated Woodpecker a daily visitor
A gorgeous male Pileated Woodpecker has been feeding at our suet feeder several times a day for the last week or more. The feeder is only 15 feet from our kitchen window so we can watch him for several minutes at a time. Last evening he was last here at 7pm after several visits during the day and this morning he was back again at 7:30am. When we are outside gardening he zooms by, flying low on sweeping wings, quite a thrill.

[cayugabirds-l] Pileated Woodpecker/ grapes
As I walked south from my place an hour ago, I heard what I thought was the call of a Northern Flicker. When I finally located the bird, it was a female PILEATED WOODPECKER quietly calling while flapping awkwardly, trying to hang onto flimsy grape vines while eating the wild grapes! The call was not "maniacal" as we often hear from Pileateds, just rather quiet. I wondered why she was calling as she ate grapes. Glad to see her again, as I have spotted her or a sister a few times this winter. This is good, since yesterday a handsome male Pileated Woodpecker was foraging in my back yard! This also reminded me that we should always leave wild grapevines alive, because they provide good bird food in the dead of winter. I have seen a lot of Robins eating wild grapes this winter! Up in my woods I have some huge (5" in diameter) grape vine "trunks" climbing into the trees. I believe those are actually left over from domestic grape vines someone had planted there on mounds of earth decades ago, now surrounded by 3rd growth woods. Glad that I have left them, even tho they kill a few trees - which also provide bird benefits after a while!

[cayugabirds-l] Pileated Woodpecker Mating Dance
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.

[cayugabirds-l] Pileated woodpecker
From 2:30 to 3 p.m. today I watched a good-sized male Pileated Woodpecker just back of my house. He was tearing apart a pile of rotted logs that have been there for years. He worked his way along the side and nearly under when a gray squirrel came sauntering along down the side hill and too close to Mr. Woodpecker. There was quite a flurry as the woodpecker tilted back, wings outspread and with his feet let Mr. squirrel have it ! The squirrel left the area fast and the woodpecker continued his search for a good meal. I often see the Pileated, sometimes 2 or 3 as there is a woods back of my house and old trees in front along the lakeshore. Cardinals and Carolina wrens are singing loud and clear now. The Robins that have stayed here this winter will be heading back to Newfoundland to nest and the ones that went further south will be coming back to us soon. It has been a joy to have them around whichever way they are going.
