Pileated Woodpecker.

After a few very off days I had a nice surprise visitor this evening.
I should explain, we were just sitting down to supper when he flew in to the back yard, I took this through my dining room window he was about 6 feet away.

Very good one. Have been trying to catch one of these all month. They flit back and forth in front of me and will not light.
