Pileated soul.
Have you ever seen the bottom of the feet (sole) of a pileated woodpecker? Now you have. We spotted the pileated on a downed tree and it flew on to another while we were watching. I got several really good images but this one just made me smile. ISO 800, 500mm, f7.1. 1/800 sec. Rondeau Provincial Park, April 27, 2023. Dryocopus pileatus The feeding excavations of a Pileated Woodpecker are so extensive that they often attract other birds. Other woodpeckers, as well as House Wrens, may come and feed there.
