Pileated Woodpecker

Today's photo is a pileated woodpecker. His name can be pronounced either PIE-lee-ay-tid or Pill-lee-ay-tid. I grew up calling it a PEE-lee-ay-tid woodpecker. I'm not sure if that is a Maine pronunciation or whether it was a family thing. I try to remember to say it correctly now, but I don't always succeed, especially if I am excited to see one (which I usually am).

I know these impressive birds live nearby as I hear their call often and see them darting between the trees, but they seldom come close enough for me to get photos of them.
