John Pastore shared these recent shots.

Thanks, John. What a bird! (Click to enlarge.)

So nice to hear from you, Jerry. While I had a fleeting glimpse of a PW at CF, this was the first good shots. I actually saw two, and Jim tells me there is a nesting pair. So, opportunity awaits to get some nesting shots. Hope all is well with you.

Congratulations John, In all my years, I never got that good a look at a Pileated at the Farm.. They actually nest here in Sarasota so I have had many opportunities. Still, I would rather be at the Farm in the Spring!
Enjoy.
Best, Jerry
