Pileated Woodpecker

This exotic sounding woodpecker as spotted near the trail in mid March.  He was quickly making this large pine tree a sculpted masterpiece. He seemed unconcerned about me getting within 10 feet of him to take these photos.  I tried and enlist him to become part of trail maintenance crew since he know his way around a tree!  If you would like more information about these woodpeckers or hear what they sound like click here!
