There's a dead log at the end of the rock that seems to be a particularly good place to look for grubs and insects and the like. So, when this guy came for his meal, I was relatively ready with my zoomy lensed camera. Better than past attempts, though I still have a few things to learn about the best settings for bird pictures (as you will see later, and now too).
So big.
so jealous!! i've never seen one. we have cute little downy woodpeckers and noisy red-bellied woodpeckers as everyday backyard visitors, but i have not managed a pileated siting. so lucky!
ReplyDeletefeel free to post tons of bird pics while you figure out your camera settings. i'm very much enjoying it!
