Pileated Woodpecker

My neighborhood Pileated Woodpecker stopped by for lunch.

People that don’t have these probably don’t realize how big they get and just how skittish they can be. Did you do spot editing around the eye on the last one? It looks like a very tight area of focus.

I've only seen one of these once. Thanks for sharing.

No, just some light basic editing. I was using my Pentax K-70 with the new generation(KAF4) PLM 55-300 WR and that lens has garnered a lot of praise on it's clarity/focusing/bokeh that goes beyond it's pricepoint($450). I'll be looking forward to using it on the new K3MK3 I've preordered
