A hiker recently snapped some incredible photos of a pileated woodpecker after being drawn in by a sound that almost sounded like a person chopping wood. These birds, once rare due to heavy logging, are making a strong comeback and are now being spotted closer to people and in younger forests. Their return is a big win for local ecosystems, since their nesting holes help other animals and even slow the spread of certain tree diseases.
