Well, on my way to my favourite deli this afternoon I happened to spot this modern dinosaur! First Pileated Woodpecker I have seen in Saskatoon.

Photography is Like a Box of Chocolates

I saw this pileated woodpecker (Dryocopus pileatus) pass overhead one morning. At the time, I didn’t know what it was—just a bird cutting across the sky. That’s often how it goes when I photograph birds in flight: I capture the moment first, identify the species later. I’m fairly certain there were two of them. I missed the shot when the first one flew by, but I know there’s a mated pair living somewhere in the woods behind my house. This one looks like a female.

Red Crest Rising

This is a male pileated woodpecker—a photograph I took a few months back. I caught a glimpse of a pair just yesterday; they touched down briefly in a nearby pine before continuing westward. That’s how most forest birds travel: small, cautious hops from tree to tree. I suppose it’s safer that way.
