Foto Friday...Tuesday Was Woodpecker Day...

I don't know what was going on Tuesday, but as I looked out the window I saw a HUGE bird on the side of my tree....I'd never noticed this type of bird around before so I went out to take a closer look...

As I got closer I realized this was the real life version of WOODY WOODPECKER, LOL! I couldn't get over how large he/she was! After looking it up, it appears this species is the Pileated Woodpecker... It flew from tree to tree pecking here and there, always just out of the way to get a good shot with my camera...

As I was trying to capture a good shot of "Woody", I noticed yet another woodpecker in another tree....Another species which appears to be the Red-bellied woodpecker... I've been here for four years and have to admit I've never seen either of these birds in my neck of the woods, it was a treat! I hope I can get a good shot of the Pileated some day.

Anyway, enjoy! I guess I got a bit wordy with my post, huh? :)
