Pileated Woodpecker's Forest Rhythm

Fun Fact

Pileated Woodpeckers can hammer a tree trunk up to 20 times per second! They use their strong beaks to dig for insects, especially carpenter ants, and their super long, barbed tongues help them pull their tasty meals out of the wood.

Coloring Tips

1. 1🎨 Feather Focus - Use multiple shades of black, white, and red to give depth and texture to the woodpecker's beautiful plumage.
2. 2🖍️ Tree Trunk Texture - Vary your greens, browns, and grays for the old tree bark, adding small lines and dots to make it look rough and realistic.
3. 3✨ Flying Chips - Lightly color the wood chips with a pale brown or cream, perhaps adding a touch of white for a sense of motion and sparkle.
4. 4🌈 Eyes of Intensity - Use a very dark brown or black for the eye, adding a tiny white highlight to show its intense focus and bring the bird to life.
