Pileated Woodpecker

This guy comes to my suet every day. His mate sometimes comes, also, but mostly it's him. Maybe she doesn't care for my suet?? In the summer they raised a baby and showed him how to eat from the feeders. This suet is right on my deck so I can see him close up. So glad he's a frequent visitor!

What an amazing visitor and great capture!! I also have my feeder right off my deck and was thrilled to have a Northern Flicker as a frequent visitor.... but I'd love to see a Pilated!!

Oh lucky you, Audrey! I'd give anything to have a Pileated visit my feeder. Beautiful shot of your wonderful visitor, and welcome to closeup!

Audrey, you are blessed to have this Woodpecker coming to your suet.

Beautiful birds; I have handled them before (I do wildlife rescue).
They are frequently at the bird feeders where I teach nature classes, but never when I have my dslr.
Bastards.....😂
