This pileated woodpecker has been having a grand time drilling into my mother's cedar shingled house and cedar trees in her yard. These are such beautiful birds that seem to be rather curious and mischievous. I have had them turn up while I have been using an axe to cut down a tree. Maybe my hacking away at a trunk is "saying" something in woodpecker language which causes them to check me out.
