Adult and Immature Pileated Woodpeckers Take Control Of Cornell Feeders – Aug. 10, 2023

It's been a wild week with one of the world's largest woodpeckers at the Cornell Lab FeederWatch Cam. Earlier this week, a female Pileated Woodpecker introduced her male youngster to the bounty of seeds and suet available at the cam site (watch the clip here:    • Young Pileated Woodpecker Begs For a Meal ...  ). This morning, they have returned. Watch these gargantuan woodpeckers excavate suet with ease in this long clip.

Watch LIVE at http://AllAboutBirds.org/CornellFeeders for news, updates, and more information about the pond and its surroundings.

This FeederWatch cam is located in the Treman Bird Feeding Garden at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology in Ithaca, New York. Perched on the edge of both Sapsucker Woods and its 10-acre pond, these feeders attract both forest species like chickadees and woodpeckers as well as some species that prefer open environments near water like Red-winged Blackbirds.

The Wild Birds Unlimited store at Sapsucker Woods has been a part of the visitor experience in the Cornell Lab’s Visitor Center ever since the new building opened in 2003. They are the preferred vendor of official Cornell Lab merchandise and offer a dizzying number of feeders, binoculars, and birdwatching-related gear and gifts to make any bird enthusiast happy. WBU has also pledged support for many of the Cornell Lab’s local efforts, including providing the bird feeders and food for this FeederWatch Cam.

The FeederWatch cam hardware includes an Axis P1448-LE camera with an an ETS ML1-WPW microphone.
