Pileated

This year I moved a bird feeding crook and zip tied it to the patio railing off the kitchen so I could watch the birds while I cook and wash dishes.  Now that this guy is coming to the suet there I guess I need to move my tripod into the kitchen.  It's so cool to see such a big bird up close!

When I first read this, I thought you meant the past tense of Pilates as in "I worked out last night - I sure am feeling "Pilated" today."

LOL! I did some weight training and yoga but I don't think the woodpecker noticed.

How wonderful that you got such a great shot of this prehistoric type bird. I love Pileated Woodpeckers. There's one that comes to my backyard here in Ontario regularly but I've never managed to get a decent photo.
