Loggerhead Shrike – Calling and Making Noise to Attract Bugs

At the time, this Loggerhead Shrike was atop a pole that was in the yard and was calling and making noise to attract bugs. As I got closer I found it just continued no matter how close I got.

Once it saw something it liked it would just go down and grab it and come back up again. It kept making these sounds for a while until it finally went somewhere else.

VIDEO – Pileated Woodpecker breakfast in Southwest Florida – Giant Woodpecker

This is a short video of a Pileated Woodpecker pecking on a pine tree. The pecking sound is very loud due to his giant size. They are sighted often here in SW Florida and are seen many times in pairs. The Pileated Woodpecker sound is very distinct and can be heard from a great distance. These woodpeckers are very large, and will shower tree bark as they are hunting for food.

 

VIDEO – Sound of a Pileated Woodpecker

This is a short video/slideshow of a Pileated Woodpecker. The Sound of a Pileated Woodpecker is very distinct and can be heard for a great distance. This is one of the largest types of woodpeckers. They make a lot of noise when pecking on a tree and can usually be heard off in the distance pecking away. The tree bark will often shower to the ground with the onlooker wondering what is up there causing all this disturbance.

What is interesting is when you hear a Pileated woodpecker call and then you can hear another one in the distance call, then another one even further out.
