The North American black woodpecker, Dryocopus pileatus or Pileated woodpecker, is a species of bird in the genus Dryocopus of the family Woodpecker.

The North American black woodpecker flies fast and in a straight line. They are also attracted to the dead trees by the insects that feed on them and the worker ants that dig up from the ground, where the sound of tapping on the trunk is particularly clear in the silent woods, and also foraging for nuts, acorns, and small wild fruits. The sound is repeated with a high and a low "Wukoa - Wukoa". In spring, male birds show off their territory by rapping on branches.
