I was lucky enough to witness an early morning coupling of the two majestic birds. It is our largest North American woodpecker at 42 cm or 16 1/2 inches.

WOW! This is my favorite woodpecker. I haven't spotted one yet. They are in the area.

Awesome! Great spotting.
Another fantastic photo and spotting Johnlguerin. I look forward to seeing your other spottings in the weeks and months, and perhaps years to come.
Great capture John!
