I love them. Love the sound the rhythm.

Their sound echoes through our forest. Everyone is stirring for the new season, despite the fresh snow.
It was hard shoot: up towards the sky (the video, I mean). My photos are much better! At 1:28 another began warning this one. Their raucous sound is as striking as the blue jays.

They are beautiful critters. I haven't seen one in a long while.
interesting, Jenn. I've never seen one up close.
They sure are beautiful birds. Enjoyed the video!
Oh my aching head! We had a woodpecker "adopt" our cabin for pecking. It took days and lots of hanging objects to discourage the little critter. - Margy
Fantastic photos! But really... their damage is less than bugs? Those are pretty large holes they made in the tree. I wonder if the trees can survive that. We had downy woodpeckers on our locust tree in Illinois. They didn't make those gigantic holes... I think.
