Pileated woodpecker

This isn't extremely sharp because it was taken verrrrrrrrrry far away, but still came out ok, all things considered.

We spent about 1/2 hour wandering around after that first shot, looking for them. They were very vocal and skittish. I didn't get a chance to actually see them but heard them very loud and clear. There were two of them and they seemed to be talking to each other between drillings. It was tough to move without scaring them because the ground cover was so thick.

he looks like that bird was the 4 of hearts in the iraqi deck of cards by the quality of the photo :P

A woodpecker? Awesome!! I'm surprised you could even get that close without him moving!
