The audio is quite noisy due to being near a series of waterfalls, and is quite difficult to clean up. The Pileated Woodpecker was startled by my footsteps on the nearby path and flew away while making repeated calls. The woodpecker flew back and circled around a clearing, continuing to call the entire time. The woodpecker seemed quite alarmed, and didn't rest until I left the area.
Pizza! right before Carolina Wren
Killed my favorite chicken. Was released unharmed.
