Finger licking Good!

This Pileated woodpecker is eating suet we put out for the birds. This woodpecker measures around 16 inches (45cm), has a wingspan of 29 inches (75cm) and weighs around 12 oz (350g)!

Your comments and favs are always appreciated!

Love that tongue! Didn't realize had wide that wing span was - (he disappears so quickly the few times I've caught him). Wonderful close-up.
