Pileated Woodpecker

We don't see the large Woodpeckers in the backyard very often.

Great find and capture.

Wow he looks awesome - so focused too - I always worry that when i see too many it is a bad sign regarding the health of the tree - not sure how true that is

@myhrhelper Thanks, you are correct. They do like dead trees. I this case he is pecking on a fallen branch.
