Field Notes
Description:
The Pileated Woodpecker (Dryocopus pileatus) is a very large North American woodpecker, roughly crow-sized, inhabiting deciduous forests in eastern North America, the Great Lakes, the boreal forests of Canada, and parts of the Pacific coast. It is also the largest woodpecker in the United States, except the possibly extinct Ivory-billed Woodpecker.
Habitat:
This bird was found in dense woodland in Bartlesville, OK, USA.
Notes:
We'd been hearing this bird all day but this was all we got to see of it. My goal is to get a proper photo of one.
