Morning Walk

Description

I was walking our dog in the morning, and could hear a Pileated Woodpecker close by. I caught sight of her on a telephone pole, and she soon flew down to a nearby tree and would fly to the ground, dig around for a bit and then fly to another tree. She repeated this the whole time I was walking our dog, keeping ahead of us in the trees and allowing me to get some photos of her. On our way back, there was a male that heard her calls and was moving in. I have never really had the chance at photographing a Pileated Woodpecker before, so was very happy to have packed my camera with me this morning.
