Can You Spot the Bird?

I was driving home this morning and caught a splash of color out of the corner of my eye and I grabed the camera and creped over to see if I could catch this elusive bird just across the road from the resort. Below is a hint but don't look unless you need to [caption id="attachment_376" align="alignnone" width="500" caption="See the flash of red on the ground"]See the flash of red on the ground[/caption] I had never seen this bird on the ground before. He has rooting around at the base of a tree in the snow [caption id="attachment_374" align="alignnone" width="375" caption="A little better pic if you are still stumped"]A little better pic if you are still stumped[/caption] [caption id="attachment_375" align="alignnone" width="375" caption="The elusive Pileated Woodpecker"]The elusive Pileated Woodpecker[/caption] After playing hide and seek in the bushes with me, he decided to pose for a great picture before flying off. He gave me exactly 5 seconds to take the above and below picture before flying off. You blink and these elusive birds are gone. The sound of them drumming on trees is the only hint as to their location in the woods when you are walking [caption id="attachment_372" align="alignnone" width="300" caption="Caught on Camera"]Caught on Camera[/caption] Usually my camera is nowhere near when these big woodpeckers fly over head but I caught them this morning. They are the biggest woodpeckers that we have in the North and are a neat sight to see
