Sometimes mistaken for the largely considered extinct Ivory-Billed Woodpecker, the Pileated Woodpecker causes large rectangular holes in trees when searching for food. These excavations can be so large that they can cause smaller trees to break in half, though they prefer bigger trees for feeding. These feeding holes may attract other birds to come and feed there.
