A Pileated Woodpecker...

Many times I have heard the Pileated Woodpecker, tried to stalk them for a chance to get a photograph but rarely was successful. This day was different. As I'm walking on a hiking trail I have a pileated woodpecker land in a tree a short distance from me. Other than having to deal with the brush and sticks in the way  I consider having him coming to me was my chance opportunity.

Thanks for stopping by.

For Me...The Largest Whitetail Deer Ever...

In this group of photos there are several decent sized bucks and one that is the largest I have ever photographed. Enjoy.

You can't see me...

Hello...

OK... Here is the most rare buck on the planet. A Woodchuck Buck. The genetic faux pas is the result of confused intermingling. Unfortunately for the woodchuck,  he never knows where he's going and arguments ensue regularly. The photo has not been altered in any way and because you saw it here first you can say it's true because you saw it on the internet and we all know that makes it true.

Here he is, the my largest buck ever, resting after many hours of traversing the countryside...

I think I got his attention...

Leaving his scent on a branch...

A profile...

Nose to the ground and moments later he is gone...

The sun sets and all is well...

Thank you for stopping by.
