 Dryocopus pileatus (Pileated Woodpecker). | I caught this beautiful wood pecker on our tall palm tree. Pileated woodpeckers mainly eat insects, especially carpenter ants and wood-boring beetle larvae, but also fruits, nuts, and berries. They excavate their large nests in dead trees, which can cause smaller trees to break in half. Pileated woodpecker pairs stay together on their territory all year round.
