Pileated Woodpecker – Bird Art Print on Wood

This listing is for a limited edition, fine art print of my original painting of a Pileated Woodpecker called “As Sure As the Sun”

This Pileated Woodpecker is a confident little fellow. The print is mounted on wood and ready to hang.

About the bird:

From our friends at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology:

“The Pileated Woodpecker is one of the biggest, most striking forest birds on the continent. It’s nearly the size of a crow, black with bold white stripes down the neck and a flaming-red crest. Look (and listen) for Pileated Woodpeckers whacking at dead trees and fallen logs in search of their main prey, carpenter ants, leaving unique rectangular holes in the wood. The nest holes these birds make offer crucial shelter to many species including swifts, owls, ducks, bats, and pine martens.”

Where to Find This Bird:

Look for Pileated Woodpeckers in stands of mature forest with plenty of dead trees and downed logs—deep excavations into rotten wood are telltale signs of this species. Also listen for this bird’s deep, loud drumming and shrill, whinnying calls. Pileated Woodpeckers occur at all heights in the forest, and are often seen foraging on logs and near the bases of trees.
