Pileated woodpecker for Camera critters

after hearing a loud bird squawk I turned to find the noisy source and someone nearby pointed out this Pleated woodpecker to me on a nearby power line pole. We were at a yard sale and the owners  told us that this large woodpecker is a frequent visitor .  Sometimes even feeding at ground level from some of  the flower beds there!

    wow...I wish I had one that visited me regularly! As long as he didn't peck on the house :-) They are so loud when they are pecking on trees. Do you need word verification? I have a terrible time reading the letters!

    Woodpeckers sure do have a distinctive cry. I like to hear the sound of their pecking, but not on my cabin wall. - Margy
