Brrrr... baby!

pileated woodpecker 2

It got down to 11 below zero in West Glacier last night. At least the wind stopped blowing and the sun came out. When I took this photo about 7 p.m., the temperature was 4 degrees F. This is a pileated woodpecker. You can tell if they're in your woods by the distinctive rectangular holes they leave in trees. Like most woodpeckers, they're year-round residents.
