We have lots of loblolly and long leaf pines on and around our property that are favorites of many birds. For 3 years in a row, every Spring during mating season, this male pileated (I assume it is the same one) spends most of every day (for at least a month) at my car admiring his image in the side mirror. When I'm at work, he settles for my hubby's Hilarious! I have never had a problem with him pecking the mirrors or windows. I have tried covering the mirrors, but he sits there staring at the covered mirrors waiting for that good looking female pileated to return Rolling my eyes.

Sorry that the pics are washed out, but nature doesn't always oblige me with good shots in good light. I hope he visits again this year.
