Phantastic Photo!

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 :)

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!!
