In this episode of On the Nature Trail, we tap into the world of the pileated woodpecker – New Hampshire’s largest and loudest woodpecker. With its bold red crest, echoing drumming, and wild, laughter-like calls, this striking bird leaves unmistakable signs of its presence in the forest. We explore how pileated woodpeckers carve deep rectangular holes in search of carpenter ants, and how their presence shapes the habitat for other wildlife. You’ll also hear actual calls and drumming recorded from the woods, bringing the rhythm of the forest to life.
