Pileated woodpecker, male

Photographed this morning in Rockcliffe Park while dog-walking. Nearby, a female black-backed woodpecker (relatively rare here) was tapping away. The pileated woodpecker is on a white cedar tree.

Wow, great close shot. Pileateds remind me of pterodactyls. Something seems primitive about them.

The rat-a-tat-tat is charming when it is not on your wood shakes or eaves. This is a beauty.
