Pileated Woodpeecker sighting!

Pileated Woodpecker


Sat afternoon, hanging out on the trees just the other side of the fence.

This is only the 3rd time I've spotted this bird, let alone got clear enough photos to positively identify them, here at Five Oaks.

Next to the Red Headed Woodpecker and the Yellow Bellied Sapsucker, these are the hardest Woodpeckers to get photos of here. I swear they know when you're trying to get a photo of them. Heh.

Those are some cool shots. I think I've only seen a Yellow Bellied Sapsucker once in my life.

I have some great shots of a Cooper's Hawk fighting a Northern Flicker back in 2018.

At the time I thought it was a Sharp-Shinned Hawk, but now I'm pretty sure they don't get that big, and it was a Coopers.
