Male Pileated Woodpecker!

This guy was going at it trying to open up the hole in the tree. Not sure if this will be the final nesting place or not, but it was putting in a lot of work on it.

Haven't seen one in two years and now there were 2 posted tonight. That long lens of yours brought this one really up close so nicely and wonderful golden color behind him.

Picture perfect!

[Joan Robillard]

Wonderful close up

[Allison Maltese]

Nice shot of this often elusive bird, at least up here. That out of focus area on the right is amazing on its own too.

Super close-up - great detail of shape and colour ! fav

Not seen or heard a woodpecker since I was a child. We used to have one visit regularly. We called him 'Red Pants'

Really nice shot.
