This morning I watched, for around ten minutes from around 30 feet, a pileated woodpecker whacking the heck out of an old apple tree, taking advantage of the cavity left by a fallen limb. Couldn't quite discern the gender -- but there was no mistaking the verve. Wood chips flew everywhere. The hole was big enough for his or her head to get into. Brown Farm, east Fayetteville.
