One of my goals for the year was to photograph a Pileeated Woodpecker at High Mountian this year.

I guess this is the next best thing -- a Pileated feather found by Ginny Chucka in the Franklin Clove during Fyke's High Mountain walk this morning. (Thanks, Ginny!)

More about Pileatd feathers here.

A recent Pileated video at Troy Meadows by Dave Blinder, below, is a pretty cool look at this beautiful bird.
