The return of the Pileated! (1 of 2) (Dryocopus pileatus)

I had been wishing for 3 weeks to see her again, and this morning my wish came true! She was on the feeder around 9 am, but I was roaming around the yard, so she saw me and flew away. I returned inside, and then stepped out on my porch a little after 10 am, and was delightfully surprised to see her again! This time I was able to hide behind the porch wall to prevent her from seeing me.
