Pileated Woodpecker

The Pileated Woodpecker is a large woodpecker species found in North America. It's known for its striking appearance, with a red crest on its head and a mostly black body. These birds are skilled at excavating large holes in trees in search of insects and have a distinctive, loud call. They play an important role in forest ecosystems by controlling insect populations and creating cavities that other animals use for shelter.
