Pileated Woodpecker (Dryocopus pileatus)

I had heard them, and seen them fly by, but had never had a chance to capture one. I was looking for Warblers and suddenly heard his drumming. I turned and he was no more than 6 feet away from me. I was so excited I almost forgot to use my camera. hahaha :)
