Join us for a deep dive into the world of the Pileated Woodpecker (Dryocopus pileatus), North America's largest woodpecker. We'll explore how this iconic bird uses its powerful, chisel-like beak to not only find food by excavating large holes in trees but also act as a crucial ecosystem engineer, creating essential nesting and roosting habitat for dozens of other forest species and helping to control insect pest populations.
