[SBB] Pileated Woodpecker at Mt. Madonna Park

On today's (Nov 5) SCVAS field trip to Mt. Madonna, four of us turned  
back earlier than the rest of the group. On our way back down the  
Ridge Trail between the Tie Camp and Blackhawk Trails, we first heard  
and then saw a Pileated Woodpecker. Harold Fukuma first identified  
the call we were hearing. We found the bird high up in a madrone tree  
eating the berries. The bird moved around a bit and was never  
completely in the open. We were so excited at seeing the bird and our  
view was partially obscured, so we did not determine the sex of the  
bird. We did note that the bird looked like a miniature pterodactyl  
as it flew west.

Other observers were Harriet Gerson and Karin Bredfeldt.
