Thanks everyone, but I was just in the right place at the right time. Had I not just used my camera to better observe the treetop crow I would not have been primed to get a shot of the woodpecker. In other words, running into the house to grab my camera when the bird arrived would have been unproductive because it remained on site too briefly. It flew to the top of another tree but was then too far away for my lens. When it fully quit the scene it flew southward toward the Rouge Valley stopping once again on a treetop but this time located half way down the street within the same contiguous wooded lot. I even walked down the street where a trail enters the lot but no further because I was only wearing running shoes, not boots. By the time I walked half way back again I could hear the woodpecker call out again from the vicinity of the end point of my desperate excursion.
This morning, when I put out the refuse, it was still dark but I heard a Pileated call again. It was taunting me, or perhaps just telling me the truck was coming, which it was. If it wasn't for the wind and snowstorm I would keep a vigil.
I would accept a PWP as a FOY bird anytime, but in a way, the crow got my attention first. My FOY woodpecker was actually a Downy, while my SOY was a Hairy, so really the PWP was my TOY, and what a lovely TOY it was, batteries not included.
