The pileated woodpecker is very cautious. He took a long time to come down to the bird feeder.




I think this bird lived up on this branch, but I don’t know what she’s doing now, because there’s a huge storm buffeting the area now.
Turkeys are beautiful.
The ravens in Mendocino are huge.
We had to cut our trip short due to a huge storm hitting today. It’s exciting to be getting some rain and snow in California!
Hi Nia, This series is quite impressive! It is so hard to get pictures of birds, but you got many this time. The woodpecker is very handsome! With so many colors on the agile body! Thanks so much and have a GREAT day! 🙂

Beautiful photos of the pileated. We get them where I live, and they love to hang upside down on the suet feeder.

Hi Nia. The woodpecker in your photos is an acorn woodpecker, not a pileated. Nice capture though. You can Google the two birds to compare them.
