I was VERY excited this afternoon- the girls and i were having "tea" after school, and I happened to look out the window- there at the edge of the yard was a PILEATED WOODPECKER! I saw one once in Washington state, many years ago and have often told the kids about it, because they are the COOLEST bird ever- they really do look just like woody woodpecker and they are HUGE! So, I grabbed the camera and took about 50 pictures- of which only one turned out because he was busy bobbing around pecking the tree stump for bugs. he was about 20 inches long from top to bottom- totally made my day!!
