Cool! I got a shot of some kind of woodpecker the other day but the shot is terrible. I may post it up anyway just to get an ID on him.

Just when you get a chance for a shot like that is when you left the camera set up for something else nowhere near the settings you need. Hate it when that happens. Surely got a fine capture of him even with the settings off.

yes, it's a Pileated, not a Red-headed. They are cool. My first reaction to one was My Lord in Heaven What the Heck Was That?! Ivory-billed Woodpeckers were called the Lord God birds because people reacted to them similarly. I think Pileateds come dang close to having the same effect! When they fly over, calling, it's like seeing a pterodactyl go over. They don't hang out in flocks, so if you have them coming back in numbers, you have a family unit: Lucky you!
