Stunning Portrait of Pileated Woodpecker on Tree Legpuzzel

Part brainteaser, part assemble-it-yourself art, this challenging wildlife-themed puzzle is great for improving muscle memory. I'll bet you've never seen a photo like this before! My closest--almost eye-to-eye--encounter with a magnificent male Pileated Woodpecker, who was busy carving out a hole at the base of a very tall tree. Rather than be spooked by the presence of a photographer nearby, this largest of North American woodpeckers would stop briefly to see who was rustling the dead arbutus tree leaves on the forest floor (I could not keep quiet as the leaves crunched under my feet, even though I tried my hardest), and then resume his woodworking activities. He ignored me for the most part, though! Photographed on Galiano Island in the early evening of July 3, 2017. Based on the original photography of W.H. Sim. All Rights Reserved.
