I finally got an extremely clear photo of my favorite woodpecker (and one of my favorite birds in general!) and god….I am so happy, and so in awe of how pretty they are

My dad and I rescued one of these from the side of the road and took it to our local state park to be rehabbed. They have a special place in my heart and their beaks terrify me!
I think the fact that they share a close resemblance to the extinct ivory-billed woodpecker also really makes me appreciate them so much. A once abundant similar bird to these, now gone. I want to appreciate all creatures in their abundance or lack-thereof, you never know when it might be the last.

I adore pileated woodpeckers. Awesome shot
downy and red bellied along with flicker and a few sapsuckers
