d-lilly ~ on and off for awhile
'bucket list'
On our getaway to the sierra foothills, Angels Camp area, I had no idea where to look for birds. I did a google search and the one area that looked promising was the Calaveras Big Tree National Park that boasted many woodpeckers, one being the Pileated Woodpecker!...although uncommon.
The Pileated Woodpecker was at the top of my 'bucket list' for this year! As we were getting shots of the White-headed Woodpecker my best friend Marty said she saw something large land in the shade very near to us..boy were we both excited to see this amazing bird. It kept it's distance, flying around in the forest always landing in the shade and drumming from the top of a very high sequoia tree.
Not the best quality but I' so glad I finally got this one under my belt...that means there are more to come!!!...:)
