You’re never going to believe this!!

I saw a pileated woodpecker like 9 years ago down by the stream and I’ve been wanting to see another ever since.

This morning I saw three!

They were hopping around and perched in the big tall dead tree in the far front of our property.  I heard one of them make a call and observed one grooming it’s feathers.  I snuck down the hill with my binoculars and the camera, quickly changing the settings to 24MP so I could make a nice print if I was blessed enough to get a good picture.  I say blessed because I was praying the entire time.

so happy!

He is my Father so they’re mine as well”
