Impressive view of a pair of Pileated Woodpeckers

Published by Drew Monkman on

Yesterday, January 28, I saw a pair of Pileated Woodpeckers near my house. It was a wonderful sight!  However, by the time I made my way back to the house and returned with a camera, there was only one. I watched the bird tapping for about 10 minutes and took some videos and pictures.
