When chipping wood, always wear safety glasses. Pileated woodpecker. ( photo / image / picture from Kildale's Garden )
A wise woodpecker indeed as he seems to have his eyes closed. With splinters of wood flying all around his face like that he knows just what to do doesn't he?
Kildale, Very good shot. I know how spooky these little creatures are. They like to play ring around the tree when they see a human. Barb in Pa.
