Facing north at the red light on Parkland Plaza at Jackson Rd.,I just happened to gaze up at the utility pole. A pileated WP bobbed back and forth in front of and behind the pole! I pulled around the plaza, figuring that if I got hit, I had insurance. I watched it for several minutes. It stayed on the north side of the pole, pecking away.
