Pileated Woodpecker Visits!

Wow! I got a treat the other day at my new pole birdhouse in my backyard. All my pictures have come from my big front trees with birdhouses hanging from the limbs. I installed a pole with one house on top and hooks down the pole with a handmade pottery nest and some apple salt block doughnuts in my yard 2 weeks ago. It took a couple days for birds to come. However Monday was a whole other level! A Pileated Woodpecker shows up not on the feeder but the wood pole. His claws clutched the pole as he looked around. I know he spotted me on the patio but, hammed it up and put on a show!
He wanted the suet on the side of the birdhouse. He hopped up, careened his neck and scooped and swallowed suet. This is my first close up on this giant beautiful bird!
