Tag Archive: Pileated Woodpecker


This is what happens when my wife and I take a walk in the woods, and I hand her the camera! This was in Corning, NY. We do like to explore trails in different communities. A highlight of this hike was to see three Pileated Woodpeckers closeup! This was at the Spencer Crest Nature Center near Corning, NY!

My wife and I walked the trail near Millersburg this morning. The Killbuck Creek was full to the banks, the deer were inquisitive, and the birds active. I finally saw a Pileated Woodpecker up close. On my mobile I showed my wife what the woodpecker looked like, and sounded like. Within 100 yards of where existed the trail a Pileated Woodpecker crossed the trail right in front of us, and landed on a tree nearby! That was special.
