Pileated Woodpecker, A big dashing bird with a flaming crest, the largest woodpecker in North America. I finally got a photo of this beautiful bird today. I have been trying to get one for years. For such a large bird, they move pretty fast through the trees.

Excavating deep into rotten wood to get at the nests of carpenter ants, the Pileated leaves characteristic rectangular holes in dead trees. This species became rare in eastern North America with clearing of forests in centuries past, but has gradually increased in numbers again since about the beginning of the 20th century.

What Beautiful Animal is This

By Sandra | October 5, 2020

What Beautiful Animal is This, we went to a new park yesterday, it was a gorgeous sunny day. We were walking along the back side of the park and came around a corner to see this beautiful, colorful animal enjoying the sunshine with the rest of us. I have never seen one of these with little spots everywhere.

Now this animal is usually pretty plain colored, but this one just made me smile. I did not have my camera at first, so I talk to this animal and said, ” Don’t go anywhere, I am going to go get my camera, I’ll be right back. ” And it did not move until I got back. I love the fuzzy ears like a bear.

And these large wonderful soft eyes. This is the most colorful one of these I have ever seen. Now most people may not think much of this animal, but me. Well I love all animals and I used to raise these along with horses.

Yep, it is a cow. I have never seen a cow with black spots and fuzzy ears. So cute to me. She was enjoying the sunshine on this beautiful Autumn day. I took plenty of photos to remember this gorgeous animal.
