Woodpecker vs Snake

This one has been around awhile now. I’ve seen it come to my inbox via email numerous times. Still, it is an amazing video of the tenacious defense of a nest by a woodpecker.

The last time this came to me it was noted that the woodpecker was a “Mexican” woodpecker.  I don’t know what that is.  It appears to me that this is a common Pileated Woodpecker that makes it’s home all over the United States.
