Dryocopus pileatusPileated woodpeckers can be found in much of the eastern half of the United States, southern Canada, and the Pacific Northwest. These large birds flourish in the forest ecosystems of the Big Thicket. However, habitat destruction has impacted the pileated woodpecker population; they are not as common as they once were.
