Last Summer at an undisclosed location near my house, I took this photo of a woodpecker. See if you can find it flying away on the left side of the photo. You can see its red neck and head. I got a much better view of it without my camera on the dead tree in the picture. It is truely an amazing bird.
I originally thought the bill was light possible the "holy grail" of birds the ivory billed woodpecker. I am still hoping to get a better shot. But for now, I think it was a pileated.
