Rarely do I see pileated woodpeckers, those large red-headed birds that 'inspired' the cartoon Woody Woodpecker. While trying to find some snow and visit family, I drove to suburban Cleveland first and the Fairport Harbor lighthouse, then shuffled off to Buffalo to find more snow, visit more friends.
Now, both locations are known for their abundance of snow, and that was expected. While parking the car, the bass drum sound of a tree being beaten up by the large woodpecker echoed over the nearby creek. It cruised from tree to tree, stopping only occasionally to see who was watching.
