Subject: [Ohio-birds] young pileated woodpecker in hand

     I just had a young pileated woodpecker in my hands, and have two holes in my arm to prove it.  He appears to have an injured neck or perhaps a head injury from a window strike.  About two hours ago, one of his parents flew around me three times.  Could not explain that until now.  It is my
guess that what ever injury happened over two hours ago.   He was found
trying to fly up the drive, but could manage only a few yards at a time.

     The young bird is presently resting in a pet carrier, and we will reassess in the morning.  I'm guessing there is a slight possibility that this is like a concussion, and in time, the bird might recover. I'm quite willing to deliver this bird to the nearest rehab location, and see what can be done. I'm  located  near Somerset, in Perry County, about 50 driving miles from Columbus.

     This is a beautiful little creature, already bigger than a dove, with a huge bill, capable if inflicting injury. Hope he can survive to enjoy our woods once again.
