Pileated Woodpeckers are permanent residents in Florida and throughout their range.
The Pileated Woodpecker (Dryocopus pileatus) is the largest woodpecker in North America (excluding the, sadly, almost surely extinct Ivory-billed Woodpecker). Pileated Woodpeckers feed mainly on ants and other insects, excavating deep into rotten wood with their powerful bills, but also eat a significant amount of fruit and nuts. Carpenter ants may account for up to 60% of the diet and wild fruits, berries, and nuts may account for a quarter of the diet. Pileated Woodpeckers leave characteristic rectangular or oval holes in dead trees.
Woodpeckers sometimes use the poles of telephone and power lines for nesting. Due to the size of the nesting hole, eight inches wide by two feet deep, they often make the poles snap. One Pileated woodpecker knocked out electricity for 170,000 people in Florida.

For the first time in a decade I don't have any cardinals in the yard. I throw out a handful of seeds while I'm waiting on bucks to show and it usually pays off. Our beautiful world, pass it on.
