I finally caught a Piliated woodpecker!

I have been trying to catch one of the piliated woodpeckers in our yard, but they are pretty flighty and usually spot me in the house before i get a chance to photograph them. They must have been really hungry or liked the flavor of the suet that day cause he let me take a ton of pictures. He was keeping an eye on me the whole time though.... I was pretty happy with these even through the window.

Nice shots I wish I could see one and even better get a photo too!
Thanks. We actually have a pair that have been around for a few years. Or at least it may be the same ones. I am hoping when it warms up a bit I can get a better shot of them out in the woods.
