Pileated Woodpecker

As this big shadow went by the window I ran out with the camera not knowing what it was.  I only got two shots which neither of them are great focus on the woodpecker.  He must have been looking for a place to stay before the storm comes.  I remember getting mom a wooden one of these, for the pole in the driveway, for her birthday.  I wonder if it's still there?

We have one of them here by our house that we see from time-to-time. When they start pecking on something it sounds like they are doing major damage. He landed on our house one day and started and I nearly wet my pants it was so loud.

I remember that woodpecker. I had no idea you gave it to her though.
