Pileated Woodpecker Visits the Yard ~ December 30, 2022

Through the window, I got a very quick glance of a fairly large, dark bird flying towards the willow tree out back. I almost passed it off as a crow, but it seemed to swoop up to land when I ran out of window to see it any further. So, I got up and went to the back door, spotted it, and realized that it was a Pileated Woodpecker. I grabbed my camera and very slowly opened the door to eliminate the 'glass blur'. It was hanging completely upside-down when I took these photos through some thin, closer branches.

I got a few other ones before it continued on down the treeline. It was only the second time I'd seen one in my yard.
