Single Malts - and other odd Musings

Pileated Wood Pecker - Dryocopus pileatus - II


I have been trying to get a decent photograph of this guy ever since I moved here back about 1981.  Then the last few years when my skills upgraded due to the fantastic abilities of digital cameras - but still no good shots as this bird is usually extremely wary.  But today as I was about to climb into my truck to come uptown for wi-fi I heard the distinctive cry and then a quick drumming sound right in my side yard - I turned and there he was.  And unbelievably he hung around while I got my camera and sighted it in.   I'm really pleased to say the least.
