Very desired bird! - Unless you like crawling through the woods once a year to remove any dead trees before all the insect larvae hatch and start to attack the healthy trees.
Woodpeckers rarely bore holes into healthy trees, the bore to get insect larvae out (which have already ruined the wood!) and they bore their nesting holes usually into damaged or dead trees.
Ha. I have to take a picture of the large oak tree killed by Piliated woodpeckers. They pecked to death. But it made some nice firewood. It took them 10 years to kill it.

It must have had an infestation, a woodpecker doesn't just peck for the heck of it.

Good morning! I think I may go back to bed, lol!
