Around noon today my wife and I saw a Pileated Woodpecker at Ed Grenfell Park. I don’t often see one on the valley floor here in Yamhill County. This one came flying in, screaming as he arrived. Landed on a tree leaning over Baker Creek at Ed Grenfell Park. Soon it flew into the thick woods bordering the park’s west side and continued to sound off from there.
I had foolishly violated one of my own personal birding rules: Camera–never leave home without one. No photo. Evidence that some rules based on experience actually make sense.

Never forget your camera or your binoculars because that’s when you are guaranteed to see birds. 😊
