Not the same species at all, but you just reminded me of the family of three Pileated Woodpeckers that I saw with my parents this summer in rural NY. They are really amazing looking (and bigger than I thought) birds. Hopefully more people will recognize the importance of saving our natural habitats and preserving species like these:

btw, I'm not saying this particular bread is at risk, it is not, but for how long before they are in a similar situation?

And 9 out of 10 times you can show them a picture of a pileated, and they instantly realize their mistake. Idk why people who can't ID fairly common birds get so certain in thinking they've ID'd a really really uncommon one, but they do.
