Wood Ducks

Great guesses on what bird was in the tree!

The answer - Wood Duck! I've seen a male and female twice this week and both times they were in the tree waiting their turn to get to the seeds below the bird feeders.

Enjoy!

Ever since learning there was a woodpecker larger than the red-headed woodpecker, which at that point in my life was the only woodpecker I had paid much attention to, I've tried to locate and photograph the Pileated Woodpecker.

They are very elusive and it seemed I was never in the right place at the right time. They always seemed to show up just before sunset when the light wasn't to my advantage, which makes for one blurry photo.
