As usual with a Pileated Woodpecker I heard him before I spotted him.
And also fitting the norm, he was pretty high above me.
He did take a few turns around this branch before moving on, giving me a decent opportunity for photographs.

Wonderful!
Nice 😁😁😁
These are super shy big birds — awesome 😎 shots!! 🤗🙌🏼❤️
They are shy, and fast, too! I was glad he picked a skinny limb so I could see him however he turned. Thank you!
