Saw a Pileated Woodpecker in my yard for the first time in two years today. My wife and I occasionaly hear one from our yard, and we saw one at some ponds less than a half mile from our house a few weeks ago. It's always a thrill to see one of these birds closeup.
I also saw plenty of our "regular" woodpeckers today: numerous Downy WPs, several Red-bellied WPs, and at least one Hairy. But, bigger (to me) even than seeing the Pileated was ... My first ever (yard or otherwise) Yellow-bellied Sapsucker. Steve Bachman Little Canada, Ramsey County __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
