I should have been concentrating on my golf game, but I was distracted by the jack hammer taps of this beautiful pileated woodpecker while we were golfing in Pinehurst last week.
Thank you, Steve!

I really like your new header a lot. Wow, that’s beautiful and so is Gail. Just saying.
I love to listen to a woodpecker work. Very much so. How fun.
Have a terrific day. Big hug to you both.
Wow… Woody Woodpecker in the flesh. Great shots!
What a sighting! Good golfing and beautiful scenery.
Sandee, Dawn, and Kate~
Thank you! It was a little thrill for us to see this woodpecker. We get a lot of downy woodpeckers at our birdfeeder, and an occasional red-bellied woodpecker, but you only see these large, beautiful pileateds in the wild.
Wow. That is such a beautiful bird! I often hear them when we go up to the mountains, though rarely see them!
We have these beautiful red-headed woodpeckers too; only ours have shorter beaks (maybe the trees are all younger out here in California). I’m always amazed by the lovely sights I behold while on the golfcourse!
I so agree. There is something beautiful at every turn!
It was so hot during this golf trip that we had the course almost all to ourselves! We really enjoyed the beauty which seemed to be there just for us!
