Right Place at the Right Time

The other day found me plying the tree of my backyard with my camera all set up.  Lucky for me a Pileated woodpecker suddenly appeared on the tree that I was looking at.  These regal birds are one of my favorite birds in our woods.  In all the years I've been tramping around in the woods this is the second closest I've ever been to one and to have the camera all set and ready to go made it special.
