I've so wanted a photo of a Pileated Woodpecker for years. My wish finally came true. I had to drivde 347 miles round trip to get him, but it was well worth it.

Excellent shots Mike! I haven't photographed or even seen a Pileated. Hopefully I won't have to drive that far to get them. :)

Well done with these.

Great Shots hadn't seen or heard one of those since the late 70s. My quest is seeing a Bald Eagle in the wild maybe I will one of these days...

Well done series. Glad you didn't drive all that way to get "skunked".

Terrific shots! How did you get him to hang around so long while you made the drive?;)
