Rainy Friday Birds

.
On Friday around my place I photographed a male Red-winged Blackbird, immature Red-tailed Hawk, 3 Pileated Woodpeckers, Common Grackle and male Northern Cardinal.  I've also had a pair of Red-shouldered Hawks for the last three days.

Are these all in your backyard Mike? What a great capture of 3 pileated woodpeckers in one photo. Not something you see everyday.

Yes it's about 300ft from my back deck, and actually -- there may have been 4! I could hear one hammering on a tree somewhere behind these, while I was watching these 3, and it wasn't any of them. But without actually seeing it -- I couldn't say 100% it was indeed a fourth. But the hammering sure sounded like a Pileated.
