Woodpecker Wednesday
I chased a Pileated Woodpecker in my backyard couple days ago, but the poor photo didn’t make the cut in the last of my winter woodpeckers faves, all photographed in my backyard.
This first woodpecker migrates to us for the winter from the upper U.S. and Canada. They’ll be departing very soon to head back home to breed.

The rest of these woodpeckers are year-round for me.
