Who took the feeder?
Today the air was full of Woodpeckers drumming, birds were singing, it is that time of year we all look forward to where everything comes alive...almost spring. :))
In the forest
While setting up camp late in the afternoon I heard thump, thump so I went to investigate and found this lovely Pileated chipping away at a decayed log. I ran for my 300 f2.8 rested it on the end of the log and fired away.

That floresent red is all natural colouring. Taken in my backyard this afternoon.
A Bullet With Wings.
I saw a Pileated Woodpecker flying in my direction and thought what the heck I'll try. When I saw her sharp on my camera screen I almost passed out lol.
Pileated Woodpecker, male
Looking in the direction of the female they kept close contact with each other as they worked their way through the forest.
Climbing a very old Bigleaf Maple Tree.
