I had a pair of Pileated Woodpeckers going to town on a log in the wood behind my house yesterday. I see them often, but rarely together and usually at long range. I snuck to about 70 feet from this pair.
Wonderful shots! Nice work and they may be back, that log looks like an insect cafeteria.

Hi rockdog, Thanks for the compliment. They may be back to the log sometime but with the scourge of gypsy moths we had about 5 years ago I had hundreds of dead oak trees in my woods. We harvested what we could for logs and firewood but there are probably 50-60 we couldn't get to. It's woodpecker heaven!

Thanks! Sometimes a little luck helps, too.
