What a bird! Good Lord, when I see one of those I'll "flip out" and never stop! I've never seen a pileated w. although I keep looking...
Lovely!

Richard ... literally.   :lol:

I've usually had pretty good luck sighting them at Maplewood Park, Erindale Park, Riverwood and Rattray Marsh - Yes, all out here in Mississauga.  :D

Oh no...an escapee!!!  :lol:
Sometime we let them out of the 905, but they need to get back before anyone sees them!
Good catch moira, I love these guys, and they love Mississauga.
Now send him back here where he belongs.
Great photo.
