The Pileated Woodpecker is one of the largest woodpeckers in North America. Their presence is confirmed by the rectangular or oval shaped holes they peck in trees. They are zygodactal, two toes point forward and two point backward. This and stiff, spiny tail feathers help to keep their balance on trees while they are in search for food.
