Birds: Pileated Woodpecker
These large woodpeckers are rare but easy to spot and hear in the woods along the Trail. Their call is an exotic-sounding laugh and will make you think you are in a jungle. Their conspicuous red crest makes them easy to identify. The rest of the body is black, but, in flight, they show a large band of white feathers on their wings.
