Photography ~ Backyard Visitor

I call this large female Pileated Woodpecker a visitor, but she and her mate appear to have moved in. They are the largest birds we have here regularly (about 16 1/2 inches), besides an occasional visit from a hawk… then everyone scatters, including the squirrels. ~

ISO 1000, 1/250sec. f6.3. 600mm, Nikon, cropped only.

Thank you for visiting today. ~ terre
