A visitor that passed through the backyard.

This is the visitor I had in the backyard. This pileated woodpecker (Dryocopus pileatus) was feasting on insects in a recently cut down tree. I would have liked to have left the tree standing as it died as an attraction and food source for the wildlife that moves through the yard. Alas, the tree was too close to the house and presented a threat to the house. Image was taken with an Olympus OMD Mark 10 II with a 75–300 mm lens and then cropped.

Wonderful!! Great photograph and I love seeing these birds, even if it's to view everyone else's photos (none around me
) Thank you for sharing!Apr 17, 2020 11:04:07 #
Beautiful shot !
I have to admit these birds in FL make holes under the roofs I have 2 large holes needed repair
I have no choice but evict them before sealing those holes....
