A pileated woodpecker has been here. There is a pileated woodpecker nesting somewhere in our park, and I have been searching for him for weeks. Occasional sightings have not rewarded me with a good picture to post, so I will just have to keep trying. It is a very elusive quarry and perhaps, just perhaps, there is a pair. One day recently I was listening to him drill a hole when another park walker came down the trail and announced that he had just seen him on a different trail. So maybe there actually is a pair. I’ll let you know if (or when) I get any confirmation. Meanwhile, here are three more recent pictures that show how snowy and wintry it has been in our neighborhood…
Last, but definitely not least, a picture of my hubby and our buddy Gulliver, taken on yesterday’s walk in the park.
On an entirely different subject…
I need some feedback. I have recently updated and upgraded my photo portfolio at SmugMug.com because I needed a place online to post my photo galleries. Take a look if you have time and let me know what you think about the presentation, navigation, etc.
I wish you success in your search for the elusive pileated woodpecker. š Unbelievably one of the people that I follow on Flickr had one visiting his suet feeder. He was so big he could oly grip onto it with one foot, but somehow he managed to eat from it anyway. Here’s a photo if you are interested: http://www.flickr.com/photos/romanaw/8438972494/
I have no doubt you’ll find those woodpeckers. Looking good.
