Despite the winter season there are plenty of birds around here – chickadees, blue jays, cardinals, crows, ravens, owls, and even a bald eagle. The woodpeckers are still here too, and keep quite busy. One of the most impressive woodpecker projects is a pine tree I pass often on my walk through the local woods. It’s impressively deep, and hints at a tree that may be rotten at the core.

If the tree is rotten at the core, does that mean it’s evil?
Today’s ‘Northern Woodlands’ blog shows a remarkably similar photo of a remarkably similar set of woodpecker holes, with lots more information about pileated woodpeckers: https://northernwoodlands.org/this-week/article/march-week-two
