The juvenile pileated has got used to me now and stays just a 5 or 6 feet away while I put some food out for her, yes its a female. Young pileated ( photo / image / picture from Kildale's Garden )
She's posed for you in just the right place hasn't she? She must have known that landing on that tree trunk would show her off to her best advantage. :-D
I think you're right Eileen! She's a cover-girl. I am not familiar with this bird... it looks like a large bird. Is it, Kildale?
