Because we stayed the night at my parents’ house, we were treated to another bird show after breakfast. I finally got to capture the giant that had been eluding me: the pileated woodpecker.

Very cool shot of this big beauty… Love it!
the rough, aged texture of the post complements beautifully the softer ripples of the feathers, making both stand out with so much more power.
Thanks so much for your comments. It was quite a sight. Plus, all the colors were super-saturated on this rainy/cloudy day.
It is colossal. What a wonderful capture with the old weathered post, etc.
Thanks! Glad I got a good look at him.
Terra, I love this photo. What a beautiful sight watching all the colorful birds and flowers which are splendid.
Thanks, Auntie. It is a beautiful sight, isn’t it?
