Piliated Woodpeckers

For several years I have seen the flash of red through the trees but have never been able to capture a photo. They must be in mating season right now because they stayed put for several minutes on a tree; there were three of them and you can see the red spot on the left as one eluded me.

The one that eluded you may have been last years juvenile; you got both adults in this shot - well done! This species of woodpecker is my favorite; they visit my suet feeders all winter.

Nobody does it better than you, except maybe that guy who used to draw them down there. Can't remember his name, something like Audible.

Great capture. These birds seldom cooperate when it comes to getting their picture taken.
