Oh lucky day! by tara11

Oh lucky day!

Not only did I get to see a Pileated Woodpecker today, but I got to follow 2 around the woods! The shots of both of them didn't turn out, but this one was OK. It is overcast and I have not mastered lighting in that situation yet. I need to figure it out quick though, because I swear that all of these birds come out of the woodwork on these days.

This made my day! If you have time, it's best viewed large.

Wow, a pileated, well done for finding one and capturing it on film

I just looked it up and it looks like I'll have to do some birdwatching in Northern California to see one of these:)

@wadazomo Thanks Dave!
@grammyn Thank you Katy! You're too kind.
@jrphotoartkc He is isn't he Jim? They're quite large, around the size of a crow or a little smaller.
