Photo Life List #5 - Pileated Woodpecker

Pileated Woodpecker in Iowa

This is another bird I photographed while at the Midwest Birding Symposium. We were on a boat ride in Iowa with other birders. It was a juvenile Pileated Woodpecker and it was fascinating to watch him.

And then he was gone!

I am glad I got a photo of it both flying and sitting on a tree leaning in the water. I feel lucky to have gotten a photo of a Pileated Woodpecker.
