Erika and I discovered Pileated Woodpeckers on 8 February 2022 on the McLane Creek Nature Path and on10 February 2022 on the Woodard Bay Pure Space, each near Olympia. Though we additionally sometimes see these crow-sized woodpeckers in our dwelling woods and they’re thought-about to be pretty widespread throughout most of Washington, they don’t appear to be as ample right here as they have been in Minnesota. These two birds have been the primary for this species for our 2022 hen record.
