Twice in one day - Pileated Woodpecker
The Pileated Woodpecker is the size of a Crow. I was fortunate enough to get a second shot at this one today and have a better image; no window screen this time.
Pileated Woodpecker
Large woodpecker with mostly black body and white wing linings which are visible in flight. the head has a prominent red crest and cap, white face and neck stripes and a red moustache stripe, and large gray bill. Legs and feet are gray. The largest woodpecker in North America.
