They're baaack!

Well, the pileated woodpecker pair has been back! I'm so happy because we probably won't see a lot of birds like that in our new home, lovely as it is. The female, who has black in her facial lines and a smaller red crest, was pecking away at the dead tree behind our balcony. She was very intent. After a little while, the male came calling and gave her a break so she could fly off. I watched them for about 40 minutes, and they didn't even seem to care that I was there! Here's one of the photos I took.
