Woodpeckers are starting to take a toll on my old friend. Mostly we get Red-bellied and the occasional downy wood peckers feasting in the old growth woods. Last week a rarely seen Pileated woodpecker went to town on my favorite tree. It acted more like an axe beak, hacking wood chips on an upper branch. Giant, gaping holes are testament to the damage.
