See pileated woodpecker footage that I took.
I live to see wildlife and have been fortunate enough to catch some great footage on film including these woodpeckers. The video is of two pileated woodpeckers courting one another. It went on nearly an hour and caught our interest forever. Duration: 5 minutes long. Please give it a thumbs up. Thanks for learning more about these incredible woodland birds.
