When I lived in a more rural area in Conway & when I was many many years younger when I actually hung clothes out on a clothes line the first time I met one was when he swooped over my head to try to steal a wooden clothes pin. Then I always saw him most everyday. We have one here in Bridgeville, altho it is not pileated kind. It is still a red headed woodpecker & prior to the last painting of our building, which is wood he had made a nest inside somewhere & because he was endangered also we could not close up the hole until the last kid had done flew the coop!!! Now he still comes to my feeder and it interesting to watch. But that bigger one is surely a charmer for me.
