Nice catch. The ones around here are about the size of a small chicken. More often heard than seen.

Great shot! They're fast and hard to get, we have one around our place but he doesn't wait for me to get the camera out.
That is a wonderful capture. They are very hard to get close to. It took me 2 years to get this guy.

Making himself a home
One of the best bird photos I have seen here. Very original. I lived in the woods of Maine many years ago. The pileateds are relatively rare, but I was fortunate enough to see one at close range. I was amazed at the size. >Alan

Wonderful! The last few years we've had a couple fly across the field across the street to visit our old broken pine tree in front. They don't come often but often announce themselves with their loud call and hammering.
