Today I had a phone interview for a bird banding assistant position with a graduate student from Fordham University. As we were finishing up, I noticed a huge bird fly into one of the trees in my yard. As soon as I realized that it was a Pileated Woodpecker, I asked her to hold on while I grabbed my binoculars to take a look! (Thankfully I was interviewing with a fellow bird person who understood my excitement!) Very cool bird, and not one I need to verify by its' song -- there is no question when you see one of these!Photo courtesey of Flickr user Noël Zia Lee
