Pileated woodpecker (male)

This 19" pileated woodpecker gives off a spectacular appearance with his bright red crest, his black back, red mustache and a long gray bill. Makes large holes in trees. It is amazing to watch them make a hole. I watched an hour one day as both a male and female took turns carving out this one hole. You could actually see large chips of wood flying out of the hole. I never get tired of taking this bird's picture.
