How Could Today Get Any Better?

So, I just finished posting pictures of the new cabin to the blog when I looked out to the bird feeders. What, oh what, did I see? Just the bird I have been waiting all winter long to catch a glimpse of at our feeders. Yes, it's true. I had a Pileated Woodpecker at the feeder log! WOOO HOOOOOO! I should just go back to bed, because I can't think of much that could top this today. Maybe I should buy lottery tickets. Oh, and I caught a picture of him, too. It isn't the best photo, but you'll get the idea.

This IS your day!!!
He's beautiful. They are such large impressive birds - I saw one once and it took my breath away.

AH! Lovely! Also glad to see the bird feeder I got for you - hanging for the masses to enjoy! I love spring!

What's wrong with me? I can't see it.

Janice- Look to the right half of the picture. See the red dot under the clear witch's hat looking thing? That is the crest on the back of his head. The rest of his body is below that. Okay, that sort of follows that the body is beneath the head. Maybe a little too remedial. Sorry.
