Talk:Pileated woodpecker

message: See Ivory-billed Discussion for a rather lengthy discussion (with references) of folk names applied to the Pileated and the Ivory-billed Woodpeckers. This needs to be summarized and incorporated into both articles. Summary: the Pileated Woodpecker was, and is still, referred to as the Lord God Bird in the Southeastern United States. The name appears to be a corruption of logcock, referring to propensity of the Pileated to feed on downed logs. The Ivory-billed was known as logcock as well, but there is no evidence in the printed sources I can find that it was ever widely known as Lord God Bird. I need to check recent works (Race to Save the Lord God Bird and Gallagher's The Grail Bird) to see if they have any further information on the folk names. I have checked several other authoritative works, and they all seem to support Lord God Bird as a folk name for the Pileated, not the Ivory-bill. --Cotinis 03:30, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

message: "The flight of these birds is strong and direct, but undulates in the way characteristic of woodpeckers."
That tells me that woodpecker flight undulates like woodpecker flight.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:1700:CA10:18A0:0:0:0:6D6 (talk) 00:58, 11 October 2020 (UTC)

message: The article has been edited a few times now, labelling them as extinct. I'm fairly certain due to these articles emerging regarding the USA declaring 23 species as extinct. One of these species is the ivory-billed woodpecker, a related species to the pileated woodpecker because they almost look the same, but they are not the same. I can promise that the pileated woodpeckers are not extinct, I seen one a month ago in a local park here in Southern Ontario, Canada. Jebbles (talk) 10:05, 1 October 2021 (UTC)

message: Hi folks, 
I'm not sure how necessary the section labelled 'Status' in this article is. The overall tone of the paragraph doesn't, in my opinion, fit the Wikipedia "encyclopedic style," and Status isn't generally a header I've seen on other bird pages.
I don't have a strong opinion either way, but wanted to ask here before either trying to rewrite the section or removing it. DuckWrangler97 (talk) 00:58, 13 March 2024 (UTC)
