pileated

The log-cock, or pileated woodpecker, the largest and wildest of our Northern species, I have never heard drum.

Only the creepers and the great pileated woodpeckers seemed to inhabit these truly cloistral shades.

Strangely enough the Pileated's notes resemble those of the Flicker but are louder.

In both sexes the eye is yellow, and the feathers of the crown pileated to form a crest.

Each pileated piece of the skeleton has four equal, cruciate, triangular meshes.
