Did you know pileated woodpeckers are the largest woodpeckers in North America? Our pileated woodpecker has moved into a newly renovated exhibit. It took her less then 30 seconds to get comfortable in her new home and to start searching for insects inside of all the rotting logs. Check out this video of her in action. Woodpeckers have unique adaptations such as thickened skulls, powerful neck muscles and storage space in the back of their head between the skull and skin for their long tongues. Look for her in the Aquatic Environment Center next time youre at the Zoo. Video by Keith Lovett.
