Pileated Woodpecker

@miyotehew
One magnificent bird! ️

@scandigonian Right, I usually hear their familiar call before I see them. A rarish bird, this one was young about crow sized.

@miyotehew What a great shot!

@amandamakepeace oh thank you its handheld 200mm zoom, about 25 yards

@miyotehew
Last fall, I had THREE of them on the incense cedar near our driveway. I couldn't believe it!

Here's two of them in this crappy video I took. (Turn up the sound.)

@scandigonian Oh nice! looks and sounds like a family. Thanks for sharing

@miyotehew
That's my guess. I had never heard them make this type of sound before.
