I saw a woodpecker today. No biggie and it appeared to give food to "babies" aka, it was tapping once every few seconds.
Description: Head appeared to be very red, probably a crest patch or whole head; I'm not sure which. Appeared to be absolutely no white on back; just black. Size, between Red-Bellied Woodpecker and Ivory-Billed Woodpecker. I circled around the tree it was on, and from every angle, no sign of white on it's black back. fairly heavy amount of red on its head.
Could it be a pileated? size was a little small for a pileated, but just in case, I made my size range from red-bellied to Ivory-Billed. I did not get a good look at its beak. I had no camera with me, so please bear with me on this.
Any advice will be greatly appreciated!
