Swiss Cheese, anyone?
For probably not the first time this Pileated Woodpecker did the rounds of this well pecked tree.
Checking out the existing holes…
…giving it a few new knocks…
…and having a general look around.

Pileated Woodpecker, Cheesy Wood
Great shots and I love that tree! What a host it’s been, wow!
Thanks, Donna! The tree is a beauty, and from the size I expect it will stand there quite awhile continuing its hosting duties even though it is dead.
I just love seeing photos of them! thank you Ellen.
Thanks, Liz! The Pileateds are fun to watch, a combo of comical and industrious.
Great shots Ellen, I have never seen a tree with that many holes in it. They can’t decide what they want. 🙂
Thanks, Sandra! That tree was something, at least thirty feet tall and riddled with holes the entire length.
