Pileated Woodpeckers Near Physical Plant Offices

Chuck Horan and Michael Williams forwarded snapshots taken near the Physical Plant offices of a Pileated Woodpecker Drycopus pileatus

If you agree that there are no longer any Ivory-Billed Woodpeckers in Florida (and not everyone does) the Pileated is our largest woodpecker, an impressive crow-sized bird that flies with alternating flapping and gliding. 

Post a comment if you see them nesting (in cavities they excavate) on campus.
