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.
And you've made a marvellous job of it Wallowa. Great work!

Thank you!
Thanks. They're amazing!
You are so good with getting the colours of the birds just right too Wallowa.

Thank you! (Colors are an effort for me, as sometimes red and green look similar and I have to work carefully with them!)
That’s really very good! Also, I really like the pops of color. Well done!
