This was my first time seeing one and they are indeed amazing. I never thought they would look so beautiful in person.

I do too! I was at a creek with my partner a year or two ago and heard the WEIRDEST sound. It took me a long time, but I finally spotted it—it was a woodpecker that was absolutely fucking MASSIVE. The sound of its pecks was the strangest thing I e ever heard.

I wanted to get closer to it and get a better picture, but I didn’t wanna get wet D: I could see it had a red or orange head in my far away pictures I managed to get.

Truly a great spot
