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
Ooh ooh ooh! I LOVE the pileated woodpeckers!
What a gorgeous, fantastic photo. and a great bird, too.
I never seem to have my camera ready when they fly over like this! Amazing shot!
Wow! What a fantastic photo! Well done!
WOW! That is incredible. I am so glad you captured that and shared it. Thanks!
Congrats on your picture! Very nice 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!!
