I saw several pileated woodpeckers in the last week. (Autocorrect thought I saw pileated newspapers.)
Seeing and photographing are two different things. Sometimes they were too far away. Sometimes they hid on the back side of a tree. Sometimes they moved too fast. Sometimes they left before I was ready.
Often they chose the side of a tree that was in the shade. Like the one on the right. At least one of the pair stayed where I could photograph him.
I thought this pair of pileated woodpeckers would be winners, but they stayed in the shade and eventually the top woodpecker flew off. (I show this only to illustrate that taking good photographs of wildlife is harder than it might seem.) Oh, well. There is always tomorrow.
