A male Pileated Woodpecker, a flying pickaxe of a bird with a black body (feathers slightly ruffled), black-and-white neck and head, and bright red crest and "mustache", clings to the side of a dead tree. Behind, somewhat blurred leaves.

A few feet high up in the same tree, a female Pileated Woodpecker clings to an even narrower branch. She is very similar to the male, though she lacks the mustache-like marking, and is currently less ruffled.

Black people don't report crimes to the police, especially the NYPD, for reasons that I have shared on here many times. But in the event of a hate crime murder? The victim usually has no choice to not report. Others report the body. And in New York, ~10X more Black people die in hate crime attacks
