"KNOCK ON WOOD"
Pileated Woodpecker - 7 Photos
Knock on wood and let the chips fall where they may.
Words that woodpeckers, including Pileated Woodpeckers, live by. And for a Pileated, who doesn't care where the chips fall, what really matters is what lies in the excavated cavity, i.e. insects.
Drill a few holes, excavate, use that long tongue to probe for insects & grubs and repeat.
And then it's a flight to another wooded grove for more construction or rather excavation.
