We just had a pileated #woodpecker couple in our back yard! We’ve only seen one at a time briefly before but this time it was a couple in clear sight (except when I tried photographing them 🤦🏽‍♂️).

They are 16-19” long and the inspiration for Woody Woodpecker.

The 2nd pic is not mine, I’m sharing it so you can see what these magnificent #birds look like.

A photo of a North American backyard in winter, leafless trees with dead leaves on the ground. There are two hand drawn, red circles around two spots, indicating where the woodpeckers are, except they’re extremely camouflage without their red visible. There’s also a caption on the image that says “they are not impossible to see as their requests are hidden, but there is a mature pileated woodpecker couple in our yard!!!”

A screenshot of an image from a web search of two pileated woodpeckers on a birch tree, one on each side. The birds both have mostly black bodies, white and black neck, white and black faces and a red crust. The mail is on the left, the crest is a little pointed and there’s a tiny red streak on his cheek. The female on the right does not have the red streak and their crest is flatter

Lunch with a view

A photo of my lunch right by a window where you can see some rocks and cormorants on it

I love this pic I took of the avocet this morning. I went to the aviary this morning before we opened and I had the whole place to myself

Birds before work (I went through a secret door to find some cormorants)

Up and down.

Same plover, same beach, same spot, now sitting.
