Nature and Feline Friday

Thank you to our hostesses 

 Nature Friday host LLB Gang  and Feline Friday  host Comedy Plus

I thank Carole and Katie Isabella for sending me this most amazing photo of a Pileated Woodpecker (Woody Woodpecker was a Pileated).

This was my reply:
Wow Carole do you know how very very very rare that sighting is?  Double Wow.  Thank you for the photo.  WOW...I've only seen one in my life and it was from a far...DID I say WOW yet.
Thank you!!    
I received permission to use the photo from Katie Isabella aka Da Boss Lady.  
WOW thank you x 100!
Hugs and WOW Cecilia

  4. That is a great photo of the woodpecker. We have three types in the UK, the green woodpecker, spotted woodpecker and lesser spotted woodpecker. The spotted woodpecker often feeds from our fat balls which annoys the much smaller sparrows and tits and they chase him off!

  5. When Katie showed that photo on her blog we wrote that we are lucky enough to see piliated woodies fairly often in our back woods. They are HUGE....Mom and I like the little Downies best but those BIG GUYS are really something!

    Hugs, Teddy

  6. Love the woodpecker! I've always wondered how they don't have a constant migraine with all of the pecking they do.

  8. It is exciting to get a glimpse of a pileated ... surprising it came so close to the house, even when tempted by the suet.

  9. We never see woodpeckers, but we do hear them occasionally. What a great photo. I guess the food was so good it didn't notice that a photo was being taken.

  10. HAHAHA!!! Funny cats on the cartoon card! That is a great picture of Woody. We had a lot of Woody Woodpeckers on The Tiny Ten... we should have realized that it was a clue that our Oaks were dying and/or diseased. We enjoyed them... they were huge and gorgeous. Good Morning!

  13. What a lucky picture your friend caught. Pileated Woodpeckers are so shy it's amazing to see one so close to the house. We love that comic that was on the card. BOL!

  14. Wow on the woodpecker. I think I've seen on in my entire life and not this close. Wow indeed.

    Two fine looking kitties and I laughed out loud at the funny. That's so catlike.

    Thank you for joining the Feline Friday Blog Hop.

    Have a purrfect Feline Friday and weekend. Big hugs. ♥

  16. That is some fun Woody Woodpecker! Strange, I can see who commented but I can't see their comments.

  17. We have a pair of them residing on this property. But, have never been able to get a close up picture of them. We do see them frequently and also hear them more than see them.

  18. I got a good giggle from the kitty cartoon today...LOL

    What a beautiful woodpecker, I don't think I have ever seen a Pileate, though we did have one we heard in our California home!

  19. The woodpecker photo is terrific! Love the cats on the bookshelf and the Cheshire Cat quote!

  20. That is a great shot. We have had them in the yard, but never on the suet feeder. XO

  22. IT was fun seeing him again! I had to take that photo with my iPhone THROUGH the window screen and glass. It's a wonder we got to see it at all. But ya takes what ya can gets! He was here yesterday too. It is the suet he loves. Did you know that when they peck wood, it is very slowly. Peck, a second or so later...peck...a second or so later, peck! Show and loud! It can be heard from a ways. No rapid machine gun pecking as with the small other varieties.
