All in the Hole

"It's all in the type of hole they make," was the answer when I asked, "How can I tell what kind of woodpecker made this hole?"

Did you know that Pileated Woodpeckers drill rectangular shaped holes?

I had no idea.

nope, but now i do.

thanks for the lesson!

Wow, I didn't know that. You are so lucky to have a pileated nesting near you and to get to see the little ones. I'm jealous.

Really? Who would have known? Good for you for asking & thanks for letting us know!! I'll be searching for recttangular holes now...

Learn something new every day, which is great.

I had no idea either--Now I'll start looking to see if I can find one, I'll then point it out to my husband and impress him with my knowledge! :-)
