[EBB Sightings] Pileated Woodpecker - Redwood Reg'l. Park

Today, December 19, 2008, at around 1:00 PM, I saw one Pileated Woodpecker in 
Redwood Regional Park above West Ridge Trail near the French Trail.  To reach 
this location I actually walked down the fire trail from Wilton Drive and 
Burton almost down to West Ridge Trail.  When I saw the woodpecker, it was on a 
dead tree between the fire trail and West Ridge Trail.  It was pecking in a 
large hole.  It flew around the area and perched in nearby trees.  It called 
once.

Later on, at approximately 2:30 PM, I went back to take pictures and it was 
back at the same dead tree.  I got some good pictures.  This location is close 
to the same place where I videotaped a Pileated Woodpecker two years at about 
this time of year.  It is about halfway between Skyline Gate and Moongate.
