Cut Away
Last years tornado at Mud Lake took down many large trees ( some areas are unrecognizable) and clean up crews have in some areas, cut the dead wood down to the stumps. This allows access to soft wood by the woodpeckers. In this instance we get a glimpse of Ms Pileated's tongue probing for insects. Note that her tongue is barely showing here ....see the link below for a baby pileated's tongue....
