Lovely pics Bernard..and pileateds are a fav bird of mine. I run a wildlife
rehabilitation centre near Truro, and this summer I had the unique Privilege
of raising a nestling Pileated male...he came in head injured...just out of
the nest...so I guess a fledgling. I have raised many birds and mammals over
the years and I can honestly say, this was the most fun I ever had and the
best release I ever had...I KNOW this bird will do well....they are simply
amazing creatures..so enjoy

  My sister Rita and her family had just returned today from visiting
relatives for the holidays in Cape Breton when she showed me some great
photos of a Pileated Woodpecker she had taken on Sunday the 24th. It was
brought to her attention by our brother who had viewed the bird in the same
general location on the previous day. As I may have mentioned around July of
this year when I viewed and photographed one in the general hometown area
for the first time, it has been, at least for our family, a rare privilege
to view this species there. I had never seen a Pileated until I moved out of
the area and even my father had recalled only ever seing one, many years
before.

  With any luck, the following view will become a more regular occurrence in
River Bourgeois, and Richmond County in general. Here is the first of three
photos from Rita,  numbers 11 thru 13, for those who wish to have a look:
