Seen today in a cottonwood snag near the horse barn

16 Replies

I saw a big pileated woodpecker, tapping and skrawking around near the barn today while doing chores. They are about 16-19 inches (41-48 cm!) long. I drew her (looking at some images to help find detail, like the tiny tiny eyebrow) this evening.

Very good Wallowa, I’m not sure that we have any woodpeckers like that here in the UK. I like the tree bark effect.

You are so good with getting the colours of the birds just right too Wallowa.

in reply toRoadRunner44

Thank you! (Colors are an effort for me, as sometimes red and green look similar and I have to work carefully with them!)

Partial colour blindness can be difficult when you have so many colourful birds!
