Pileated Woodpecker

What a nice surprise to see this male pileated woodpecker in our backyard. He was enjoying the suet at the feeder (do you see his tongue still out) when a squirrel chased him off onto this birch tree, he was back at the feeder as soon as the squirrel left!
The squirrel is the boss in our backyard! lol

Thank you for your comments and favs on yesterday's photo of the "Snowy Day", much appreciated.
