Saturday's Critters and I'd Rather B Birdin'

Click on the photo to see it at its best.

Prentiss county, Mississippi, USA, January 7, 2022
My photo of the Pileated Woodpecker, Dryocopus pileatus, is not as clear as I would like, but it was the best I could get from my dining room window. They eat ants and other insects, and sometimes visit suet feeders. Look for them in old forests with large dead trees.

Have a wonderful weekend!

I am linking in today with Saturday's Critters and I'd Rather B Birdin'

    Nice pic of the pileated woodpecker. I would be thrilled to capture a pic of one out of my window.

    Oh, I love seeing these big woodpeckers. I saw one yesterday but didn't get a photo at all. You did great!

    Not caring about the blurryness - I have never seen one of these woodpeckers and it was a treat.

    I had one of these visit a bird feeder about a year ago. I was shocked that it was so big and just to see it in general. Haven't seen it since :( This is a great pic.

    Lovely to look at, even if it is a bit unclear.

    I am always green with envy of you all when you share a sighting such as the pileated!! I have yet to see one in the wild.

    And thanks for stopping by to link in this week.
