Yep. Figured it was. The woodpecker tau is very interesting stuff. "Eight of the 10 woodpecker brains came back positive for deposits—but all of the blackbirds' came back negative. What's more, the deposits were in the front of the brain, the same place where tau accumulates in people with CTE."

And it rings a bell. Damn. Couldn't find it, gotta be on the board somewhere. Aha, hadn't looked in F6's long ones .. here they are ..

Thanks for bringing it back. It's really interesting. LOL also picked up one of DesertDrifter's little non-desert gems on the way.

Pileated woodpeckers are pretty important in old growth forests because they excavate big cavities in softer wood that then get used for many other animals as dens, as you probably know. Those red plume feathers on the head are highly prized by many western tribes for adornment.
