No photo to share, but I had a local sighting of a Pileated woodpecker today!

I was outside, and heard a slow, deep pecking sound. I spotted a large woodpecker high up on a tree in the woods next to my house. I knew my phone would be unable to capture an image at the distance, so I stepped inside and grabbed my Sony DSLR. The battery was exhausted so I changed it just in time to see the woodpecker flying farther into the woods. Then I heard a rapid drumming.

I was very excited, as I've not seen a Pileated here in years.

I have seen them a couple times in the last 10 years.
Scares the chickens since it's the size of a coopers hawk.

I've never seen one either, I don't believe they range in my territory of New Mexico.
