I have alot of dead wood out in my pasture. The most interesting bird, that alot of people do not get the opprotunity to see, and in my experience have never heard of is a Pilated Woodpecker. They are very very large woodpeckers. The first time I saw one I was amazed how big they are and how pretty. I haven't been able to get a picture of one yet. They are an endangered species. I see it fly over the house often in the mornings.
