Pileated Woodpecker

He didn't stay long, and didn't let me get close, but I love these big ol' birds!

Nice capture, Rob. Love the touches of colour from the leaves and his crest.

Thanks, Robin. Always nice to hear from you. Hope all is well in your neck of the woods!

@rob257 Thanks for your good thoughts. Things go up and down in our family so have been a bit absent; up at the moment so am back commenting.

Nice catch Rob. These guys are awesome. Best I did this year was see a couple fly across the highway as we vacationed in September. We don't get them in this neck of Alberta.

Sometimes it's "one day at a time". Glad things are looking up.

Lynn,
We don't see that here all that often, but they are around. Beautiful in flight. Thanks for stopping by and commenting.

Wow, nice shot. His red crest really stands out.

That's about all that stand out, LOL. Thanks for the comment.
