I'm in Cambridge, MN and have these woodpeckers around every year. I hear them more often than see them, but they are fun to watch when they stop by.

I finally observed not one but a pair of Pileated Woodpeckers in the woods Conn. ; they are so much bigger and more colorful than I had known; Beautiful!!!

We have them on our 8 acre pine/oak/maple lot. First time we saw them, we thought they were little cats!

I have never heard but the drumming against a tree, but today I watched and heard a pileated woodpecker sounding like a duck at intervals between the pecking sound against an old tree stump. We have woods behind our home. One year a dead pileated woodpecker was in our driveway, probably not long after hearing the pecking against a tree.
