Woodpeckers in my yard

This is a red bellied woodpecker that comes to my feeder usually 3-4 times a day. I have been trying for two years & finally got a picture of him. The slightest nose sends him away in a flash!



These are pileated woodpeckers & seldom come this close to the house & I have only once before seen them on the feeder.



They almost always are in pairs but stay back in the woods.


This is blurry as he was flying away but it gives you an idea of how big they are.

















PS If you click on the pictures you can see them full screen

Before I left for work Sunday at 5:30am I woke her up to look at it & didn't like the way it was swelling up.  I told if it didn't look better when I got home at lunch we were going back to urgent care. This is what it was looking like when we
