This was the day I finally tracked down the elusive Pileated Woodpecker. To say I was thrilled is an understatement. Apologies for the blurry photos - I was more than 100 feet away. |
I watched him and photographed him for more than 5 minutes. |
Most of the pictures I took are of the back of his head. |
He
banged and ate and banged and ate.

Later we heard a noise on the trail ahead and watched Mama Duck take her babies for a walk too. |
Loads of Taiga Bluet Dragonflies flitted about the undergrowth in the sunshine. |
