Pileated Woodpecker

For Easter Weekend, I headed to Ottawa to visit my brother.  We went for a walk on Easter Sunday through the Arboretum and I saw a Pileated Woodpecker way off in the distance through my binoculars.  It flew to a tree where another one was.  I was thrilled!  It was too far off for photos though.  A little while later, while walking in the rocks at the edge of Dow's Lake, I turned and saw this guy 6 feet in front of me!!  I took 100+ pictures...here are two :)

    1. That is by far my best picture of him! He didn't seem bothered at all by the attention :)
