The Pileated Returns!
For the first time since March 2010, and for only the second time in 16 years, I caught sight of a giant pileated woodpecker here at Owl Hollow. He flew to an old apple tree and was inspecting a large crevice formed when a limb came down in a storm. A diminutive downy woodpecker was clinging to the other side of the tree trunk and flew off when the pileated became frisky.
My camera was right at my desk and as I went to turn it on, the woodpecker flew toward a white pine, out of sight.
So exciting! Love those birds!

Great shot. We often see and, more often, hear these wonderful woodpeckers in our woods but they have eluded my camera.
