Who is there" Why it's Pat Thorne and her stunning images of these two pileated woodpeckers. Pat says they're "looking for larva in a dying poplar tree.  Notice the standup feathers on the youngster’s head on the right side.  A really hip fellow". Below is another of these beauties, potentially the dad. Thanks again Pat for sharing. Do you have pictures to share?

More from Pat: "Looks like he is asking “What did you say?” I had fun with these birds as they stayed for about 2 hours eating the larva in the tree.  I had to wait till they got into the light on the cloudy day to get these photos.  I hope you enjoy them."
