They are a menace to the hardwood trees in Arkansas, I believe they should be killed.

You don't even know the geographical location of Arkansas, much less what does damage to what. Pileated Woodpeckers are here by the thousands ........ and they don't cause tree damages. With the Red Oak Borer, they're actually beneficial in controlling the numbers of larvae to a degree I believe.

Tell me fellas, if we had no clue that a thought-to-be-extinct bird has been among us for 60 years before realizing it, how in tarnation can we determine that millions of song birds are being eaten by feral cats?

A remnant population of woodpecker in the deep swamps of SE Arkansas, maybe only numbering a few dozen birds at MOST can be easily seen. I mean, if you've ever watched Deliverance you know not to go in those swamps.
By your reasoning, we should shut down deer hunting season. I mean, how can we really know that theres plenty of deer to hunt ?
