The Pileated Woodpecker is North America's largest woodpecker, nearly crow-sized with a striking red crest and bold black and white plumage. These impressive birds excavate rectangular holes in dead trees while searching for carpenter ants and wood-boring beetle larvae - their primary food sources. These cavities later become essential homes for many other forest creatures, from owls and squirrels to bats and wood ducks.
