A pileated woodpecker is out foraging for food recently in Jim Thorpe. The pileated woodpecker is one of the biggest, most striking forest birds on the continent, according to the Cornell Lab. They search for dead trees and fallen logs for food such as carpenter ants, leaving unique rectangular holes in the wood. The nest holes these birds make offer crucial shelter to many species including swifts, owls, ducks, bats, and pine martens. JAMES LOGUE JR//SPECIAL TO THE TIMES NEWS
