In last year or so... An opposum on my back fence, huge racoon in the tree in my back yard, fox on the S side of the Highland golf course, a number of deer, lots of stunningly beautiful but typical MN birds -- NOTHING as cool as a pileated woodpecker. Michelle might want to give a call to Wild Birds Unlimited...they keep track of such wonderful sightings and could also give you some information about what yours is doing (I think it's way too early for nesting behavior...).
And for those who don't realize how dramatic a pileated is, check this link: http://www.worldbirder.com/photonew/xpages/photo.asp?PhotoID=1298 They are stunning and absolutely enormous -- like 16 inches long! -- Anne Carroll ------------------------------------------------------------ Anne R.
