^ I do, too. I had some at my lake house years ago. They like pretty heavily wooded areas. I had many other kinds of critters there - owls, hawks, night herons, blue herons, geese, muskrats, loons, cormorants, as well as the usual bird species (several kinds of woodpeckers, titmice, wrens, bluejays, robins, etc). Really cool place for the flora and fauna.

Very cool, Dave. I've had the Northern Flicker, the Downy, the Red Bellied, but never the Pileated!

I've jotted down a few and the above list jogged my memory a bit. I'm at 22 and will keep thinking. The turkeys are across the street, so I won't count them, but I will count the hummingbirds!

OT - this is not feeding related. But a fossil has been found in New Zealand of a penguin that was 5' 10" tall and weighed 220 lbs.

I've only ever seen one pileated woodpecker and that was in Bracebridge, Ontario some 21 years ago. Congratulations Dave, that birds a treasure.
