Backyard Bird Watching 2

[Rob Rockcrawler]

Great pic of the Piliated. I have been seeing one the last two years at my house. Last week he stayed for about a half hour, wasn't concerend about people in the slightest. I had 8 people come over for a viewing. Pretty cool watching it pound a swamp maple. From about 40 feet away i could see chunks of wood falling to the ground. By far the coolest bird i have ever seen.

here he is: about 50-60 feet away feeding at the 8" x 8" suet basket
and it took me 3 weeks of waiting to seem him finally get interested in
something other than making holes in my cedar trees. of course i filled all his holes with suet ha ha ha
