Power to the Pileateds!

Yesterday was a great afternoon here next to Amity Creek. For 90 minutes on a beautiful early winter afternoon I enjoyed my local Great Horned Owls, even if they were not enjoying themselves much (think dive bombing crows). When I got home from my hike in the woods I heard what was obviously a Pileated Woodpecker working away at finding supper.

Now this afternoon Pa Pileated introduced Ma Pileated to my yard. Life is good (and so is backyard birding). One of my other neat sightings this week was having a Northern Shrike visit my yard, but I suspect the local songbirds were not thrilled. What have you seen or heard out the window lately (my Great Horned Owls serenade each other after sundown, and before sunrise)
