Not really a Tap,Tap,Tap…the loud hammering of a Pileated Woodpecker sounds more like your in a construction zone.
These birds are crow like in size and able to do major excavations on a tree in a short period of time.

Working with Peregrines
I’m pretty much open to any opportunity that will provide an opportunity to photograph a Peregrine.
This all started back in 2006 when I became involved with the Peregrine Falcon Recovery Project.
Over the last few years it only made sense to jump at the opportunity to work with Parkland Mews.
Parkland is a captive breeding, falconry and educational centre that provides students and groups the opportunity for an up-close encounter with Peregrines.
Meet Gracie from Parkland Mews
Short Flight Encounter
Shooting from the truck window does have it’s disadvantages as was the case here.
Being restricted to the amount of movement required to track the owl which only provided a short burst of shots.
Never the less an enjoyable encounter with this Snowy…take note of those talons.
Don’t think I would want to mess around with those…just sayin.
