Gorgeous Pileated Woodpecker puts on a show

Published by Drew Monkman on

Today (Jan 19) at 1 pm this Pileated  Woodpecker spent about 20 minutes pecking in and around my garden. I had never seen this type of woodpecker before (about the size of a grouse). I am on Glassford Rd, Little Britain and this guy was about 6 feet from Lake Scugog.
