Pileated Woodpeckers are 14 to 16 inches long. It is fairly unusual to see one on my porch. On the rarest of occasions, there were three on my porch at one time. That was years ago. I do see them at times when I am walking in the woods. There is something about seeing a Pileated Woodpecker that feels auspicious to me. This might be the first time I have been able to photograph one. They are skittish.
