It has been a woodpecker week. Check out this Pileated Woodpecker. We had not seen one for a few weeks so this was great. Big and beautiful.

Wow, this time it was the male Pileated Woodpecker. If you recall, the last time we saw both the male and the female but the male took off before we could capture a photo of him. This time it was just the male. We are seeing them a lot this year.

Teresa captured this photo. I wanted to share it to show the size difference between a Downy Woodpecker (one of the smallest woodpeckers) and the Pileated Woodpecker.
From the audubon link:
"Excluding the Ivory-billed Woodpecker, which is largely believed to be extinct, 22 woodpecker species call North America home. The Pileated is the largest living woodpecker in North America—nearly three times taller than the petite Downy Woodpecker."
They are very large .. but a cool looking bird.

This Pileated Woodpecker showed up a couple days this past week. This is a much better photo than the one I posted last week. I am not saying it is perfect, but much better than the previos post.
They are a large woodpecker .. a large bird period.
