It's kind of hard to tell with the low light, the fuzzy cell phone video, and especially with them crawling over each other. You can hear them, though!
I got pretty close; they just laughed.
Eventually I walked away to do something else,
and they flew into another tree directly over my head,
where you see them in
this video:
Pileated Woodpeckers, Dryocopus pileatus, Lowndes County, Georgia.

I recognized them from
Food, Inc.
They get them out of the chicken houses at night.
It was maybe around 8 o'clock in the morning.
(7:51 according to the timestamp.)
According to Food, Inc., they're put in the cages as little babies,
and they put the sides down.
These chickens have probably never seen daylight before:
