I do envy you your woodpeckers, Jack. We don't have those here. We do have hairy woodpeckers and northern flickers but I don't see them often. The flickers are most evident here in the fall. They love dining on the multitude of ants in our backyard. 8)

dpc even though I have tons of photos the Pileated is so compelling I can't help grabbing the camera! I think you need larger trees for them in Sask., maybe up north??

Jack,
We have them pretty much year round. Hearing them either squawking or "drumming" is more or less year round. Seeing them is a different story. Being able to shoot them is more difficult, it the chance is even available.
Glad that you have them and is able to shoot them. I'll rely on you and your shots to remind what they look like
8) ;D ;D.

Hey Riley, by "back" I meant visiting not that they ever migrate.

Nice photos from every one! I'm jealous for Alan's European Bittern (First it's a difficult bird for photographing and second: here we very rarely have the American bittern, forget the Eurasian!) and the huge diversity that dpc is posting! Jack - I'm happy to see you are out with the camera, nice pics!
I didn't have the opportunity to get out today, instead I just re-developed some files from the last October. Just removed in DxO some unnecessary sharpening and contrast/microcontrast that are adding to the noise (and not very natural look, especially the microcontrast) in the photos.
(Riley - these are from Laniakea beach!)

Thanks Jack!
Now they are supposedly in very North Canada (high in the Arctic) and part of Siberia. Unfortunately I have no chance to see them in the very different breeding plumage, they arrive here in non-breeding...
