Captured this gorgeous Pileated Woodpecker in Door County, WI while on a camping trip over Memorial Weekend. He easily had a 3 foot wingspan.

Excellent shot with zingy colours, great lighting, perfect DOF and more than a little humour too.

'Let's eat Grandma!' or, 'Let's eat, Grandma!' Punctuation saves lives...
Chad - Door County is a gorgeous region; undoubtedly a beautiful camping location. It appears as though this Pileated Woodpecker looks perturbed that his neighborhood was disturbed, as he peers out the front door of his condo. Your lighting on the bird amidst the shadows, as well as the DOF with bright, blurred green and blue background, make this a very nice photo. Thad

If I could tell the story in words, I wouldn't need to lug around a camera. ~Lewis Hine
Chad, this is an excellent capture of the ever-elusive pileated woodpecker.
Great composition. The lighting looks delicious, you have great DOF, colors are sharp.
This is going into my favorites!
Thank you for sharing this with me!

Comment unto one another as you would have them comment unto you. If you like comments, you need to comment some yourself.
They are the largest woodpecker in North America. Adults (40–49 cm or 19 1/2 inch long, 250–350 g weight) are mainly black with a red crest and a white line down the sides of the throat. They show white on the wings in flight. Adult males have a red line from the bill to the throat, in adult females these are black.
