    A great shot of a Pileated Woodpecker. They are very loud, but usually pretty shy and secretive... NICE!!!

    Great shot Trish!

    Did you know thats a female? I wouldn't have either, but had a pair in my yard so was able to figure out the differences.

    I have another shot of a pileated, taken in VT. I was surprised when she showed up and was not shy at all! Such a pretty bird!

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"
