Morning revealed another new layer of snow as a pileated woodpecker attacked my suet block. For being the largest woodpecker in the country, the pileated woodpecker is hard to spot and harder to get a photo of one although I often hear their call. I have been seeing one for the last month, but he always hears and flies away when I try to open the door from my kitchen into the garage so I could get to a window without a screen to take a picture. With their body shape and head, I can almost picture them as a prehistoric age type of pterosaur found on the set of Jurassic Park. It was six years ago when I was able to get a couple photos of the big woodpecker.
