It's rare to get new species in our yard now. We've lived here since 1999, so our backyard bird list is pretty well set. I hope this one becomes a regular. We've seen her several times over the past two weeks...

| ...such a pretty little Pileated Woodpecker...not! She's huge, and it's so exciting to see her right outside the window! |

Though far far more common up here, it's still a thrill when one comes in to our feeders. They are amazing birds---so "prehistoric" looking.
Enjoy your new visitor. Hope you get to see her often!
Cool! I've never seen any Pileateds around here.
Birds don't always pose in the most photogenic environment, but a photo is a photo!
Wow, that is wonderful! Always exciting to see a Pileated Woodpecker.
Striking images Kelly.
I haven't seen one of those up close for quite awhile. I hope she visits you frequently. Blessings to you in 2017.
So happy that you have a new feathered friend at your feeders! Fun.
I had to wait till the bears slept to put feeders out and only the Hairy, Downy and flicker oh and Stellar Jay have shown up for suet. All the songbirds i hear in the tops of the trees have not come to the feeders and it has been 3 weeks. So unusual. I only get to feed birds in winter, I am missing them.
lovely days and nights to you.
We're lucky enough to have these in our yard often, though I've never seen them on our feeders. I guess there is enough food in our trees for them! Hope you continue to see her in your yard. So exciting!
Wonderful!
Great photos!
I hope you and yours had a very MERRY CHRISTMAS and are having a very HAPPY NEW YEAR. May we display your linked header on our new site directory, SiteHoundSniffs.com? As it is now, the site title (linked back to its home page) is listed, and we think displaying the linked header will attract more attention.
Incredibly fine bird! Hopefully, it will be re-feeding.
