Pileated Woodpecker, Murder of Crows
Pileated woodpecker, big guy, pounding on a big old pecan by the shed. Sounds like someone whacking on the tree trunk with a 2x4.
Meanwhile, other end of the yard, a murder of crows are having a big squawkfest, sometimes sounding like a bunch of screaming chimps.
Ah, the quiet country life.
