Good God Bird!!

Must be a good day for scoring yardbirds. As I drove down the drive way to work this afternoon I spotted a large bird flying towards the yard. Could it be? Yes, a whopper of a peckerwood winged its way over head towards the creek, I even spotted its red crest and the white under its wings. So cool! This is only the second time I've ever had this bird around the yard, since I don't really have much in the way of mature forest, they're hard to come by. What would really be cool is if he comes into the feeders. hot dang.
