Pileated Woodpecker

I just saw a Pileated Woodpecker in my backyard!! How exciting! Unfortunately, I didn't get great pictures of him, but at least I got a couple that are okay. He's a much bigger bird than I thought. The guide says up to 20 inches and this one was probably close. He was just pecking away at a tree, just as happy as can be. I hope he comes back to see me one day soon. I've seen this guy in my guide and was looking forward to when I would see one because his head is so crazy looking. YAY for a great bird day! And I didn't even have to leave my house! Here are a couple of pictures of Pileated Pete.



Happy Birding!
