Pileated Woodpecker (male in nest hole) Swallow Cliff Woods Cook County IL April 2010 Jeff Skrentny FB0707 IMG_5430
WOW! What a surprise, first eBird recorded Pileated Woodpecker for LaBagh Woods. No doubt they once inhabited these floodplain woods, but that was a long time ago no doubt. Officially site bird #209, though I think at least three of the current eBird records are suspicious eyebrow raisers at best.
