Look What I Saw!

I was so excited to spy what I thought was a red-headed woodpecker.  I was lucky to snap a picture of it, too.  See him on the right?  Well, I Goggled red-headed woodpecker, as anybody would.  I wanted to find out more about it and discovered that is not what it was.  It was, instead, a pileated woodpecker.  A red-headed woodpecker has a round head with no red crest, that pointy feather part that makes it look like Woody Woodpecker. This pileated bird likes to dine on carpenter ants, lives at all levels of the trees, has a very shrill call, leaves rectangular holes in dead trees and is as big as a crow!
