From the Office Window

pileated woodpecker from office window

Through the office window on a dark rainy day, a Pileated Woodpecker and I keep an eye on each other.

bonus: the bird was frozen on this Douglas Fir for more than six hours. Only its head was moving. I’ve read this can have something to do with that pesky hawk again. (after an altercation with a predator, the woodpecker may not return to its nest until the hawk has left the area)

Pileated Woodpeckers

Pileated Woodpeckers in our front yard.

There were four bouncing around on this tree. Quite a sight as we rarely see them, and when we do, it’s usually just one at a time.
