Pileated Woodpecker
Peeking | Jan. 31, 2021 |
| |
I had been hearing a pileated woodpecker calling throughout January, but it wasn't until Wednesday, Jan. 27, 2021, that I finally saw one come to the suet feeder.
At first the male pileated woodpecker (identified by the "red mustache") remained somewhat hidden, peeking around the tree trunk for several minutes. |

While peeking, the pileated kept changing his head position (I suppose to see every possible angle). |
|
| |
Or perhaps the pileated was simply making sure that there weren't any humans nearby. |
|

Finally, the pileated woodpecker flew to the suet feeder for a good meal. |

Each time I see and/or photograph a pileated woodpecker, I keep thinking, They are so amazing!
Photo note: I used a Pentax K3-II, with the Pentax 150-450mm lens, for the photos, taken on Jan. 27, 2021. |
