It sounded like a poor typist trying to peck out a letter. Instead it was a pileated woodpecker in a tree in the back yard pecking out insects or larvae from bark around a knot. Occasionally it placed its beak deep into the tree as seen in the bottom photo, and slurped down a bug or a grub. Then it would pull back listen, peck some more and repeat the process over and over. It was a pleasant diversion for me and obviously satisfying dining for the woodpecker, though personally, I can hardly think of it as appetizing.

Neat pictures of the Piliated Woodpecker. We bought some Bark Butter to attract the flickers we see in the Spring. Watching the birds makes for a nice distraction from the routine things of the day. Our next door neighbor cat, Rory enjoys birdwatching too.

Glad you liked the photos. I doubt, however that Rory enjoys the birds simply for their beauty. 😉
