1st time sighting one of these.. Pileated Woodpecker. Huge bird. Could not believe my luck. At first I thought it was mechanical because it was just too... too perfect. And, in a residential neighborhood.

Way cool !!!
Nice catch.
I love watching them when I get a chance to.
Their numbers aren't near what they used to be.

Thanks BigBear, they are rather elusive from what I gather, so I felt privileged to have had the chance to see one this close.

Thanks amyinsparta, All I got to hear was it pecking at the tree. You can see the hole it made in the photo. In case anyone wants to hear their call...http://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Pileated_Woodpecker/sounds
