Pileated Woodpeckers Hunt and Eat Juicy Grubs

The Pileated Woodpeckers are finding some huge high-protein grubs or wood boring beetle larvae in that rotting tree stump they've been working on and hearing the activity of the grubs helps the woodpeckers find them. They are smart and use the old stump like a stockpile. Rather than tear it all up at once they are working it slowly and come back for more grubs that will grow in it. Sort of like a grub warehouse!

Wow!! That grub!!! Amazing!!! The first pileated woodpecker I ever saw was in December 2016. I was in complete amazement.... they really are so beautiful and so big!! I don't see them often, but what a treat it is. Thank you for this great video!

Sometimes I can hear the woodpeckers, and occassionally get to see their silhouette, rarely more than that. What a nice close up you captured.

I sure do appreciate your videos of the Pileated woodpecker! Such a treat for me how beautiful and large they are! He was really enjoying the grubs. I’m captivated

Nothing wrong with shooting through a window! (Five minutes ago, I was just filming my goldfinches as they took to their new feeder through a window.) I've seen pileated woodpeckers twice so far, and the last time a few weeks ago, I noticed what it sounds like when they peck at trees--a lot different than what I usually hear from the downy woodpeckers. I sure do like it when I see area managers leaving dead trees around. Good footage is when you can see their pupils, so bravo!

@MyBackyardBirding 2 года назад

Thanks, yeah Pileated Woodpeckers sound like somebody taking a hatchet to a tree, and in my case they usually give a tropical monkey call or two right before they come in that tips me off! BB

@jeannineroche5669 2 года назад

A joy to watch. Thank you. I'm writing a woodpecker song and this really helped. Love your commentary too. Very restful, respectful and full of quiet wonder.

I'm like you! I really love my little feathered friends so it's hard to pick one as a favorite, but this guy would be on my short list. This bird was the inspiration for Woody Woodpecker by Walt Lantz, they disrupted a vacation he and his wife were on. 😄👍

@MyBackyardBirding 2 года назад

Yes, they are so charismatic they get your attention. I always thought it odd that the Ivory Bills which are essentially the same went extinct because they couldn't adapt outside of certain southern swamp forests, but these guys are so adaptable. BB

@garywebb8086 2 года назад

@@MyBackyardBirding I thought they found one of those in Arkansas a few years back? 🤔

@adognamedboo9474 2 года назад

@@garywebb8086 I have heard the same. There is a RU-vid channel dedicated to finding the locations, sorry I don't recall the name.

@BlastFromYesterday 2 года назад

Does the woodpecker have a sense for where the grubs are in the stump or does it just peck and hope to come across them?

@johntravena119 Год назад

That there’s a savage carpenter dinosaur. Awesome footage!

Bad day to be a grub 🐛 🐦

@MyBackyardBirding 2 года назад

They are like pure sirloin steak nuggets to the big woodies! BB

@PnwOnTour 2 года назад

Didn’t know they hear them, I noticed some saw dust in the driveway so I have a busy one currently, we get the grey ones too with red features, got a pair of juvenile bald eagles 🦅 recently Wa state, deer are picking up now too.

A very hardworking bird. And beauty. 😍

@michellewilder2304 2 года назад

Faves at my feeder include the female Cardinal (stunning and stealthy), the common Robin (the boss of the yard!) and male downy woodpeckers (very active). Bird nerd :)

@maryclarafjare 2 года назад

I love how they FLING big chips of wood away with such abandon.

@tyha1903 3 месяца назад

It looks like he keeps a good lookout taking those brief pauses to look up with his eyes pointed side ways

@Badficwriter Месяц назад

The way he kept going back and forth between excavations, it seemed like he was triangulating where the grubs were.

Right near the ground. Wow. Whenever I try to see them they are flying from tree to tree up high and they always land behind the tree! I am convinced they do this deliberately.

They are huge! I wish I could see one in real life. Do they visit the Deep South during the year? What size is it compared to other common birds? Oh, I see the crow now. Pretty big bird!

There were 3 pairs of these in Brunet Island state park in Wisconsin when I camped there once..was not able to get near them tho but it was interesting watching them .
