7/2/11 – Here at Sawbill we have recently adopted a family of Pileated Woodpeckers. Over the winter the duo spent much of their time working over a tree near the Hansen’s house. Just yesterday two larger looking chicks were spotted poking their head out of a gaping hole in a large pine. The siblings love to pass the day away squawking up a storm and waiting to be fed by Mama P., as we have named her. -Jessica
