Pileated Woodpecker

As you may remember, the woodpecker was on my wish list. I finally got one. And it proves two things. I did see one and that I'm not quite there yet as a photographer. But please notice how very sharp the bark is on the tree to the right. Oh well.

This guy is a pileated woodpecker. He's about the size of a large crow. I'm so amazed by how nature works. As he is pecking away at dead trees looking for carpenter ants to eat, he is leaving behind a home for an owl, a bat or other bird species. Pretty cool, don't you think.

Just keep watching. I will capture a better image next time.

Til Tomorrow,
