Woodpecker on Primrose


Saw the pictured woodpecker on Primrose St in front of St Vincent Hospital around 1pm on March 17th. He had created a significant litter of woodchips on the lawn and sidewalk, which is how I spotted him, since his pecking was silent. It was bigger than a robbin, smaller than a crow; much larger than the woodpeckers I normally see in this neighborhood.

  1. That would be your pileated woodpecker, right there. We had one in our back yard last year for quite some time. Lovely bird.
