I've lived in a rural forested area but so many times when I saw something and ran to get my camera, it' was gone by the time I got back. This time this large female pileated woodpecker was too focused on her task to care about me. Their beaks are strong and can knock whole chunks of bark off a mature Douglas Fir tree. https://fineartamerica.com/featured/female-pileated-woodpecker-no-2-belinda-greb.html #birdphotography #pileatedwoodpecker #aYearforart #wildlifephotography #naturephotography

@BelindaGrebPhotography Nice capture! Yeah, unlike most birds, woodpeckers are good subjects because they often spend a lot of time in one spot so you have time to set up a photo.
