I work in the Weyerhaeuser campus area. I passed on one of the recent birding reports about the tufted duck and other species to my co-workers. I told them that I often see a pileated woodpecker high in the trees near our building, and showed them a picture of one from a company wildlife calendar.

About an hour later I hear, "Hey Tom, get over here," There was a piliated woodpecker sitting on a small tree right in front of this guy's window! The bird flew off afrer a few seconds, but it was really impressive and a lot of fun for the whole office.
