Pileated Woodpecker

New England spring arrives with woodpeckers announcing territory with loud cries and drumming. Females scout for dead spars to excavate for a nest, making a new cavity each year.
This pileated female, our largest woodpecker, paused for a microsecond to let me snap the photo, which shows even the woody bits still flying around her.

You are correct, it's a male. I looked too quickly, and other photos show more of the red mustashe.
