I recently stopped by Chesnut Park for a quick walk after work. It was very quiet at the park. Not many people there. I found this pileated woodpecker hanging around one of the parking lots. He was bouncing around from tree to tree and stopped and posed for me a few times. I just sat on the ground and watched him for a while. Eventually another woodpecker came calling over head and he took off. I think these guys deserve the “Coolest bird” category with their punk mohawk.
Wonderful series! These guys always remind me of something prehistoric.
That’s such a perfect title for this wild and crazy guy! He sure did pose beautifully for you.
Amazing photos! thank you for sharing! lovley!
