There is a pair of Pileated Woodpeckers that live in the woods around the house. I have never been able to get close enough for a decent shot. Finally got some late afternoon today. Very heavily cropped and somewhat noisy but figure if I spend some time in PS will get something decent. Here a couple quick edites.
Cool shots, Rick!

Great pics! Local vernacular where I live calls them wood hens. I don't know why. Love the way they travel from tree to tree. Seems like everything they do is shyly demonstrative.
Never heard them called that. But I have heard the term Wood Hen. Thanks for the info.

High ISO? Better to get the shot than not. Good catch.
Getting more comfortable with high ISO. But really wanted to stop action. I was shaking like a leaf.

Thank you. They usually don't let you close enough. I was shaking like a leaf.
