Why would you shoot a bird that only eats insects that it finds on dead trees? Obviously that tree is quite dead (based on the rotten appearance). This bird does not prefer live trees. Additionally it is protected by the Migratory Bird Act.Those pileated bastaXXs are the worst. They are my nemesis and the reason I bought a .22 cal pellet rifle.
And their preferred food is carpenter ants. Since I live in a log cabin, I am very happy to see the bird plucking carpenter ants out of the dead pines around my place.Why would you shoot a bird that only eats insects that it finds on dead trees?
