I was astounded that it was out there again this morning!
I got a couple shots that I thought were cool, as they show just how large they are compared to a Red-bellied and a Downy Woodpecker!

Claudia, that is so cool. I can't believe the size of that pileated. I have red-bellied and downy woodpeckers at my feeder too and the red-bellied always looks huge compared to the downy. In your pics it looks like that pileated towers over the red-bellied! I would love to see a pileated in person, just amazing.

Paul, they are just totally awsome! And to see it in flight is something!
Here is very, very bad shot from yesterday as it flew away. I waited too long to take the shot since I was standing there with my mouth hanging open in awe!

WOW!!! And I thought that the red-bellied were big!
Isn't that what Woody Woodpecker was supposed to be, was a pileated??
Cool picks!!

Just love seeing your pictures! I'm kind of surprised the other fellas aren't intimidated by that guy!
He looks like he's wearing a tuxedo! Thanks for posting!....Pam
