A beautiful male Pileated Woodpecker. I had wanted to get a photograph of one for 2 years, I’d seen them high in the trees or flying overhead but couldn’t get a photo of one. One morning I ventured down to Beaver Marsh and within 5 minutes on the trail I heard the pounding of a woodpecker. I turned around and there, no more than 15 feet behind me at eye level, was this big guy. I must have taken 50-60 photos and it paid me no mind at all.
