ABA Bird of the Year 2021 (1 Viewer)

Didn’t see this posted the ABA bird (for those of us in the ABA area) is the Pileated Woodpecker. I’ve never seen one, headed to Oregon this summer so hopefully will this year.

Been dipping on this bird all year for my county list! Hopefully 2021 will be different.

Is there a blog or post on it?

They had posted this on YouTube.

I had a message from the ABA about the announcement time, and missed seeing it (of course). Followed the link and found it on that youtube address posted above.

Nice one, thanks both.

(Think I saw Pileated back in 2000 in Florida - early on in my trip at a camp site in pine woods, but didn't see any after)

Got mine (my only one!) near Cave Junction, southwest Oregon - smart bird

I actually thought of your excellent photos of them when I saw what it was.

I do kinda like the idea of a Pleated Woodpecker ... origami anyone?!

Just as long as it's not a woodpecker with piles.
