Pileated Woodpecker

Pileated Woodpecker rescued in Fincastle, VA. The woodpecker became wedged between two trees (bottom photo). She was unable to stand or grasp on arrival. Multiple scraps and bruises were noted from her futile efforts to get out. Recovery has been slow but yesterday she was able to grasp onto bark (top photo). The teamwork at SWVA made this happen and thanks to Gary Greer for picking her up.
