Pileated Woodpecker and Bird Feeder Pole

RE: Pileated Woodpecker and Bird Feeder Pole Post By Noreen (Guest Post) (08/30/2008) August 30, 2008 I saw the pileated woodpecker today in Maine (close to Bangor), we've seen him before but not to often. I started feeding suet year round this year & have 2 - 3 different size woodpeckers here all the time. I will be putting up a separate pole for the pileated. They are beautiful.

But he doesn't come near the house. He stays along the tree line about 50ft away. When we hear his piercing call we run to the window to watch him flick from tree to tree spending a few moments on each. Nature is beautiful, and we are all connected, my friends, no matter what anyone says. Ask not what your planet can do for you .... ask what you can do for your planet.

We can always hear him and its awesome to see him up close (about 3 feet away)! We hang the suet feeders from a pine tree that is about 3 feet from the dining room window. Its amazing how big they are! Report Spam or Abuse RE: Pileated Woodpecker and Bird Feeder Pole Post By C.S Tewksbury (Guest Post) (03/01/2005) We live on a small lake in a wooded area in Michigan. We have seen a pileated woodpecker just once. The actual size of the bird amazed me! Thank you so much for sharing the photo.

We live on the top edge of a river valley in Manitoba, Canada and each spring the male pileated woodpecker comes to our yard pole and bangs on the top of the pole on the metal up there and makes quite the racket. I guess he must be calling all the females around for miles because it sure is noisy. Wow, they sure are large colorful woodpeckers. We have the other two kinds of woodpeckers, the Downey and the Red-Bellied, coming to our suet feeders all winter though. What a wonderful experience to see on a regular basis some of these birds...we didn't see them when we lived in town.

Please if you feed the birds keep your feeders clean up because birds are picking up more and more diseases from dirty feeders. Things lie E-coli are now killing birds. do a search on feeding birds and get all the details. In my area of Central Pennsylvania there have been fewer and fewer birds around any time of year. I live in what you might consider a rural area. So Please again be very careful when feeding wild birds. They have enough troubles living in this modern society as it is. If you can't find those websites I will get them for you. Soory to be a wet Blanket.

THen I realized what it was. I haven't seen it since,we hope it will return someday. They are so beautiful.

We have them come into our feeder right near our house, they love the suet. I am on Vancouver Island, BC & we have lots of birds, feed them all year. We are in the country on an acreage & no cats around. We even had an eagle's nest but the tree blew down in a big windstorm, but we watched them raise 2 babies until they could fly away! Really neat!
