The pileated woodpecker is our largest hat wearing woodpecker.

It’s #WildlifeWednesday! Did you know? The pileated woodpecker (our largest woodpecker!) gets its common name from the Latin word pileatus, which means “wearing a cap”. It has a long neck and bright red, triangular crest. Males also have a stripe of red on their cheeks. #birds #wildlife #photography
