Trail cam use is observing nature in its purest form With some new insight on how woodpeckers make a tripod of themselves About: Birds of Kentucky: Pileated Woodpecker + Red Bellied Woodpecker photo by David Upchurch Commentary from Billy Joe Fudge David this is an absolutely stunning photo. I am no expert on photography but this "box of chocolates - never know what you are going to get" style is observing nature in its purest form and I love it. It is interesting that you captured another woodpecker in the photo with the Pileated Woodpecker. Pileateds are very territorial and winter is the only time they will tolerate other woodpeckers into their territory. The propping on the tail is called hitching. The tail feathers in woodpeckers are stiffer than the tail feathers of most other birds. Most woodpeckers are hitchers but because of the size of the Pileated it is easier to observe than in smaller species. Both these woodpeckers as do most woodpeckers are undulating flyers. They will flap their wings a few times and fall, then flap their wings a few times and fall. It is amazing to watch especially in the big Pileated Woodpecker.
