From what I have found, there are about seven varieties of woodpeckers here in Indiana. The Pileated woodpecker seems to be pretty common here in the Hoosier National Forest. We had a pair pecking out an old log in front of our RV this morning. I am amazed at how large these birds can be...about the size of a crow.
Wikipedia states this:
The Pileated Woodpecker is a very large North American woodpecker, roughly crow-sized, inhabiting deciduous forests in eastern North America, the Great Lakes, the boreal forests of Canada, and parts of the Pacific coast.

Here is a neat site for bird identification. This site is amazing! You can hear all the sounds of each bird, their food, migration, etc. A must for bird watching.
