Pileated Woodpecker

This morning this giant was outside the window at our home near the Wren House. The picture is not great–but this guy is so shy it is not easy to catch good photos.

Pileated Woodpeckers are big–like 12″ tall and they have a distinct call. The hammer away at old trees in the woods and leave large rectangular holes.

Birdnet.com is a great way to id birds–especially by their call.
