Multiple Pileated Woodpecker Sightings

On several occasions, now, Lauren has spotted adult Pileated Woodpeckers on the feeders directly outside our kitchen. Today she (and the kids) spotted a juvenile. They are an awesome breed of bird, large and proud with vibrant red crests.

Myself, I've only seen two by the naked eye before. I keep missing the sightings at the house.

I remember when we moved one of the things I worried about was whether we'd be able to attract the same number and variety of birds (even though we only moved less than a mile). That fear's all but eliminated, as we're enjoying a greater variety of wildlife than ever before. In addition to a Northern Flicker, a Rose-Breasted Grossbeak and a couple as-of-yet unidentified birds, Pileateds are now appearing regularly (two adults and a juvenile). Cool deal.
