Pileated Woodpecker eating monster grubs.

This shows a Pileated Woodpecker digging out a couple of large grubs and eating them.
I used slomo with the first portion of the video at slightly reduced speed, eating the first grub is about 1/5 normal speed and the final grub goes at close to normal speed. The background audio is fill- recorded in June 2022 in Salisbury, NB.

Nice and beautiful video. Thanks for sharing & bIg like

WOW! Awesome footage! I wonder what details of its tongue we could see if you cropped it and slowed it down even more. It's very cool. Thank you for sharing!

I grabbed a bunch of stills and they really didn't add much. I think to really get more detail it would be better shooting stills- more resolution this way. At least with my gear. I think with the newest cameras you can grab very high res stills from your video or run very slow slo-mo like you were suggesting.

@@christurner4231 Thank you for your information! What was this video taken with?

[@christurner4231]

@@mydailynature A Nikon D7500 with a 200-500mm lens. Not a great camera for video, half the time I can't tell if the focus is right on. Thankfully it was for this video.Good camera for stills.

@@christurner4231 Nice! Yep, I get it. I frequently have to stop video to zoom in, refocus and by then my subject has usually moved on. Congrats again on this video!

That is one heck of a Bird. Amazing. First Comment! 🙂😜🤪

[@christurner4231]

It was incredible to see the bird up close and when it pulled out that first grub I couldn’t believe what it found to eat- not to mention I was lucky enough to be recording.
