That's what I thought too. You have to look close to see the difference .

Does anyone have these show up at the feeder ? Another bird scared this guy about a year ago and he flew into the picture window. They are huge, I thought he was going to break the window. He hasn't been back since but I still see him flying around and hear it, sounds like a tommy gun when he pecks wood. They seem to peck on what ever makes the most noise , Power poles and tin buildings. Fun to see them around.

Lincoln, kinda...
I haven't seen a pileated woodpecker since I lived if Grand Forks, but we have lots of downy woodpeckers around Bismarck/Mandan. They ratatat-tat on everything from wood siding to metal surfaces. I guess it's their mating call. Maybe the pileated woodpeckers are doing the same if they are beating on metal?
