Beautiful capture. This year was my first year to encounter this woodpecker twice. I guess when you get involved in birding (since 2007), birds just appear front of you - and that is what happened to me last year. Very nice blog you have here, Anna :)

I never seem to have my camera ready when they fly over like this! Amazing shot!

I’ve never been able to capture a flight phot like that-That angle of the Pileated with outstretched wings is awesome!

Zen Birdfeeder - Thanks much!!

Anna - Thank you; every time we find a Pileated it creates a feeling of excitement!!

Lana - we share that love!!

Wren - thanks; the PW provided a great opportunity for a photo

Monarch - sometimes hauling around the camera feels like a burden while birding but it is better than missing the chance!

Moe - thank you very much!!

Trixie - thanks; we love sharing (even if it isn’t that great of a shot)

Karl C. - thanks much!!

Larry - First time having a Pileated fly directly overhead… it was a great thrill!!
