Very impressive. You are very lucky to live in an area with such wonderful birds. I have been trying to locate a pileated woodpecker in my area for a month now with no success.
Despite the snow and adverse weather conditions you had up north, you did extremely well today. Much better than I did and it was sunny and in the 30′s here!
Not sure who to report this to but will try here. Sunday February 15th I had a bluebird in my yard in Boothbay, ME. I have had one bluebird since February 1 and one day had a couple. I had the great fortune of having two pileated woodpeckers late last fall and again early this winter.
Had a bluebird in my yard on February 15, 2009. I have had one bluebird off and on since February 1, 2009 with two one day. I have had two pileated woodpeckers early this winter, twice!
