ahaha! I love my woodpecker couple, they visit many times daily. Their chirp sounds like a squeak toy, but they sure are fun to watch! (I keep a big seed suet right outside my office window and they LOVE it!) no damage done to any of our trees :)
That is a Pileated Woodpecker. These crow sized woodpeckers are fairly common in the northern regions of Wisconsin. I've run across a quite few trees in various stages of damage done by these birds. I'm quite impressed by their diligence.
Here's my photo of a Pileated taken earlier this year.
I wonder if the image has been Photoshopped. Woodpeckers are going after insects when they peck at the wood. I can't believe that the tree was that infested. Look at the top of the photo. You can see the edges of the tree's canopy. They look green and healthy. How could a tree with that much damage and such an infestation even be standing?

It's a cool picture, either way.
