I don't know how many of you are bird watchers, but this was a rare catch this morning, this is a Pileated woodpecker, rare to see, I'm quite glad to get some pictures.

What a catch! I've seen a couple, but never when I had a camera.

Fantastic birds... I'd love to see one at work. They must be very fast to produce that ticking sound...

Ya, he is the one that Woody the Woodpecker was suppose to look like, some on here probably don't even know who Woody the Woodpecker is. As far as the sound, it sounds like someone hitting the tree with a steel pipe, funny he doesn't get a headache.

We have at least one around here!

Sadly, never seen the little guy...

Very hard not to hear him though! ::) :-X :-/
