Pileated Woodpecker

The bird life on the farm is just spectacular, even more so with all the feeders around the barn during winter. Today on our snow-driven walk in the fields we startled a pileated woodpecker from its roost, where it was seeking protection from the snow. A gorgeous bird with its deep black coloring, white trim and shock of red comb, big yet graceful in flight. Here's a photo from the internet.
