8692einP2 Pileated Profile

I absolutely LOVE this photo. It was taken just across the street from my house. I was walking down my driveway when I heard its call. I was able to spot it when it landed on a branch right over the neighbor's house and started drilling for insects. All I had was my phone --- not satisfactory for the distance at all.

 

It was kind enough to stay on the branch while I ran inside to get my Nikon with the zoom lens. Here is my January gift from Mother Nature.
