There are lots of other woodpeckers I see in Muskoka every summer I visit, but the one at Ian and Amie's was the first pileated one I'd seen. Ian said he'd never seen one before and he grew up there. Purely anecdotal, of course, so I guess I should consult Roger Tory Peterson's Birds of North America to check out the range.
