World Bird Wednesday 11/30/11

Right before Thanksgiving, I took a quick trip to Jacksonville, Florida to surprise my sister for her 50th birthday.  I've never planned that kind of surprise before and WOW...was that fun!

The bonus on a Florida trip is the great birding there.  But I didn't have to go far to find this beautiful pileated woodpecker.  He was hanging out right in her back yard!

Every week I intend to participate in World Bird Wednesday...and every week it sneaks right by. If you love bird photography, please check out the links that can be found here.

Pileated woodpeckers are always a special sight for me, getting a marvelous picture of one to boot will make for a red letter day! Excellent capture!
