I'm sharing these pileated woodpecker photos especially for Melissa.  We have a couple of pileated woodpeckers that have visited us every few weeks since the end of December.  I was headed outside to do some yard work last Sunday and came upon our gorgeous visitors in one of our oaks.  Unfortunately, my going back inside the house to get the camera frightened the male away, but I did get a few pics of the female.  I ended up getting too close to her for comfort (her comfort that would be) and she joined the male in another of our oaks hiding amongst the leaves.  They then flew to a pine in our wooded area, but I again was only able to get photos of the female.

Our garden is coming along well so far.  These photos are from last weekend as well.
