Pileated woodpecker, male

Walking by the Ottawa River in heavy snow today, I came across three pileated woodpeckers and thought how they enliven the otherwise almost monotone world of winter. This one is a male, as can be seen from the red moustache.

Excellent detail! Your pileateds seem a lot more tame than ours.

What a super (pileated?) woodpecker capture! These birds certainly look different from the way I had imagined them. V.
