Pileated Woodpecker, from todays walk

I was very lucky to find this beautiful woodpecker today. The Pileated is the largest woodpecker in North America, and she stayed long enough for me to get a few shots

Great captures. You are lucky to see this!
Thanks tk, it was fun to see, with a wing span of 30" and the bright colors she was hard to miss

Wow! You got a lot of shots of the bird. These guys never stay still for long. Good job capturing the flighty male.

Great captures! I also find them nearly impossible to see for more than a brief nano second, much less be able to take a photo!

How lucky you are to see such a bird, and well done on the captures. Over here we only get three species of Woodpecker, the Greater Spotted (pictured), Green Woodpecker and the Lesser Spotted, the latter being as rare as Rocking Horse poo.

Thanks molly, they are usually a good distance off and then they are gone. This one was not to far but up under the palms, I couldn't believe I was able to get off a few shots. These are from three trees about 5' apart.

Thanks rlaugh, I can understand how the could scare the dog, they are quite large and very vocal.
