You guys are killing me with all the sightings of Pileateds and pictures.  #1 is fantastic - incredibly sharp, colour great - one of the best I've seen for sure.  Congrats!  Colour me green :)

Thanks for the comments Clemens ,Moira, the Piliated is a fascinating bird, to see one and take pictures of one was definately something.

Thanks again for the comments everyone, it is a rare find, but we were lucky to observe him for a couple of hours that day, he was constantly on the move pounding away
looking for food, going from tree to tree he didn`t sit still for one second, but what a beauty.
