#pileated woodpecker
I googled and watched some videos. What a cute fellow, ... and definitely the natural model of Disney's Woody Woodpecker.

Just for the record, Woody was definitely not Disney and was never associated with the Disney machine. He was the creation of an independent animator (Walter Lantz) and I believe his rights are still owned by Universal Studios. http://www.wikiwand.com/en/Woody_Woodpecker -- Bob St Francis would have done better to preach to the cats |
Thanks a lot. I didn't hear of Walter Lantz before. I'm sorry for having delivered some kind of 'fake news'. but I'm always happy to learn something new, so I highly appreciate your objection. best regards (W)

The pileated woodpecker was the model for Woody though. The real life pileated are quite large as far as woodpeckers go. Their large size is how I know one is close by. They make a solid very audible thunk when they peck at a tree. Not machine gun style like a smaller woodpecker. Rather thunk, short pause, thunk and so on. Tampa Bob |
