Biggest damn pecker I ever saw, I tell you what!

[short bus president]

This thing was HUGE! Bigger than most of the crows around here. It must've been peckin' ALL the right trees. I tried to take a picture, but he flew off when I opened my door.

1. Pileated woodpeckers are huge...

...like the size of eagles huge. We get a few around here at times.

3. I had no idea!

I thought this one had grown up next to the nuclear plant or something.

2. Oooh I wanna see a big pecker!

The ones in our yard are all regular-sized.

4. Some folks spend their lives in search of a bigger pecker.

16. Yes, they just don't realize that it's more about what the pecker pecks

and how well it pecks it than it is the size of the pecker itself.

After all, sometimes a smaller pecker can get to grubs that a larger pecker can't

5. You have stolen my post, curse your loins!

I posted this same picture with a comment regarding peckers earlier.

Did you think that I, with my finely tuned mental . . . . stuff, wouldn't notice?

6. I think your cats can take his pecker

not even a close fight

[ET Awful]

10. I was going to say something about another word for cat

being designed to consume peckers, but i wanted to keep it clean :)

12. i toyed with the idea myself

but didn't want to anger the mods

14. Cats eat birds all the time, I see nothing wrong :) n/t

9. indeed.

that is one impressive pecker. they make the strangest noise too. I have one just like that that hangs around my house. :-)

15. Ive got two fo these several medium sized one and some small ones

pecking the hell out of a very big dead tree about 25 ft away from my new house. I meant to cut it down when we moved in, now Im afraid the peckers are gonna bring it down right on my roof...

They are cool though, seeing three different types of peckers at the same time is quite a treat as well.

17. I like hearing 'em, too.

Pleasant country alternative to the jackhammers back in the city. ;-)

18. yeah unless its mating season and they get hold of a stop sign!!

when they get all horny they find the loudest thing that they can peck and go to town until some scaverly pecker mate comes and satisfies their urges!!

19. Noisy little buggers..............they like to keep me awake.........

Day after day they hammered away at a tree in my front yard that was sick and damaged. The utility company fixed them and cut out all the bad parts of the tree. Figures I have an entire woods behind my house and they pick this one tree near my room.

I think we call them pecka-woods.

20. yup

flying dinasours...kinda "Rapptor" looking!!!
