Pileated woodpeckers

[Bob Correll]

Had a pair of Pileated woodpeckers visit yesterday. Shooting with a tele lens, so I couldn't get both in one pic.

Such a treat, for sure!
We’ve had only once seen Pete Pileated in our yard... hoping he returns again!
However, we now have eagles in the area as well!

I haven't seen a pileated woodpecker since I was in high school (mid-1960s). We have downy and red-bellied woodpeckers, but I would love to have the larger ones as well.

Very cool, beautiful bird. The only bird I can identify is chicken.

My only pileated sighting occurred in a southern Indiana state park some years ago, but downies, hairies, redbellies and to a lesser extent redheads and flickers are visually common around here.

Is there a difference between a turkey and a duck? I never noticed that.

You quack me up.

Beautiful pics Bob! Have had a pair of pileated woodpeckers around my house every year since I moved here 36 years ago. Beautiful birds and they become quite tame. I can sometimes get as close as 15 feet from the tree they are in before they fly away when I am working around the yard.
