I was told (with subtlety) that Valentine’s Day is over.

I posted this in the Traditional Wooden Wednesday subforum, but thought some here would find it interesting.
On our daily walk on Sunday, a Pileated woodpecker had a couple holes started in this dead Hemlock tree. I took this pic on our walk yesterday, and it already had the tree shredded. This tree's at least 18" in diameter. Pileated woodpeckers are very territorial, and this is most likely the work of just one bird, or maybe a nesting pair.

Here's a pic of the pile of wood at the base.

And, of course, a Buck 112 for today's carry.

We get a lot of Pileated Woodpeckers through our property. They are a big bird and their “hole poker” is savage. Haha. Such a beautiful and curious bird.
Their song is amazing. I always appreciate the times I get to come across and watch them do their work.
We have the Pileated Woodpeckers and two other kinds in the woods behind our house. We see and hear the Pileated frequently, the other two less so.

They seem to leave behind nice knives, so that's a plus, right?

Back in Aug 2024, a very good friend of mine that I served in Vietnam with gave me that same knife. The only difference I see is that my blade is black and like yours is not marked. I know Charlie Ochs, sent him a photo and he confirmed it was one of his early ones. JohnThrowback Thursday, checking out this first generation Ochs/Miller "Black Knife"
