Pileated Woodpecker

       I took this top photo in 2007 with my old camera.   That camera was still relatively new to me and I hadn’t figured out that it even had a modest zoom lens.

       I took these next two photos with my new camera, from inside my house.   This Pileated woodpecker and his mate live in the woods that borders our Road.

       Pileated woodpeckers are some of the biggest woodpeckers in North America.   They make rectangular shaped holes in trees, looking for ants to eat.
