And you had your camera ready at the drive way? Or he waited patiently? Either way, wonderful shot!

Good things happen to those of us who are prepared.
You keep your camera in a hip holster and can bring it bear
at a moment's notice. I love the pines on your driveway.
Picked a Pileated pining for notoriety. Those softly blurred
needles framing the pine bark and a perfect pecker profile.
What's not to love?

Had a Mystery bird Saturday.

I got some images of it.. It's either a Merlin or a Sharpie..

Just back from boys weekend at beach, gonna look at images .

They weren't very good images if I recall,,  I don't recall much from this weekend thou :oops:

No I must have deleted them,, Sigh.

Lots of the Pileated thou. It spent a good thirty minutes removing bark. It didn't seem to care that I was using a vehicle as a brace for the camera.
