Nice! Those are hard birds to shoot; very wary, in my experience!

Great shot of the male Pileated... they are fun to watch & listen to... I have a pair nesting on my property at the moment... if the Pine Marten doesn't get the eggs again this spring, I hope to see some chicks.

They are elusive birds. Every once in awhile someone post a shot of these.
Nice work.
