I hate them.
We have a log home and one year had issues with wood bees. The woodpecker tried to get the bees and I had to constantly chase the woodpecker away.

No, it's not a Pileated Woodpecker (sometimes called wood hen)
I've watched woodpeckers at Game feeders that store/hide the corn kernels in and under tree bark. They use the HONOR SYSTEM which don't work out very good for them now days due to Porch Pirates.
I like to watch and listen to the big Pileated Woodpeckers call and their hammering/drumming on their favorite hollow trees when I'm out deer hunting. They defend a large territory and quite mean when another Pecker enters their staked out areas.
Pileated means crest or crown. the one in the picture does not have the crest on it's head.
I use this term quite often "Tougher than a Wood Peckers Lips" most often when food is tough to chew.
The one in the picture might be WOODY the wood pecker.

We call them wood hens, us'ns hill williams any way
I use to have exposed white pine beams and white pine trim boards. Boring bees loved it.
I would wake up to a hack hack outside on the woodwork. Chips as big as 2 fingers falling to the ground. Them fellers like the grubs.
Pileated peckerwood is non existent I think.
My neighbor had one that he had mounted many years ago. Pretty sure it now resides in the Smithsonian museum.

It is an Acorn Woodpecker. Love the way he keeps his nuts but also exposed for other critters to exploit.

They peck out the holes that the carpenter bees make, in my log cabin. I have 2 plastic great horned owls setting on the porches, the woodpeckers are scared of the owls.
Mother Nature has a pecking order.

That is exactly what we did. The owls even have a solar panel in the head and the head moves once in a while.

Our neighbor had that problem and used the owl scenario. After awhile the peckers landed on them before starting to peck into their cedar siding😮

They eat Power poles in this neck of the woods. If the power company will place a metal varmit guard over the area on the pole they are pecking and the Wood Hen will just move over and start a new hole.
I have woods around residence and Wood Hens in the area.
I made some big 1x12 cuts outs about 20 inches long on boards and painted them the Pileated woodpecker colors and attached them to trees and buildings where it looks like it's pecking on the tree or building.
I've seen the Pileated Woodpeckers land on nearby trees and twist and turn their heads giving the wooden painted clones the STINK EYE.

Acorn woodpecker. We watched them eating bananas in Costa Rica. They didn't try to stuff them in holes though.

Oops, Pileated is not extinct, the Ivory bill is long gone. They look the same, at least similar, but I think the Ivory bill had white chevrons on it's wings. Anyway Ivory bill was what my neighbor had.

Ivory bills have, guess what...ivory colored, not black bills. And they are extinct.
