Skywatch Friday. Punk Birds

These pileated woodpeckers were in our back yard today, pecking away on the wood on the hydro pole.

I missed seeing them though, my man was the one who took these photos of them outlined against the sky.

They are large birds, 18 inches long, and the noise they make hammering into the wood can be heard over a kilometre away.

Aren't they fabulous? I hope they come back again.
