[Ontbirds] Male Pileated Woodpecker, Oakville, 10 March 2008 at 14:58

To the Coordinator, Hi.

For the first time in fifteen years of living on the edge of Joshua's Creek ravine in southeast Oakville (near Devon and Ford) I spotted a Pileated Woodpecker.

It was investigating the bark on an Ash tree about 35 feet from my bedroom window but did not stay long enough for me to grab a picture.

I would be interested to know if any other sightings of this bird have been reported.
