Lucky Day

I had just set up my camera outside when I spotted this Pileated Woodpecker fly into a tree.  I froze, held my breath, and hoped he would visit the feeder, which was about 20 feet from me.  Sure enough, he landed on the suet.  Ideally I should have backed off on my lens, but I knew if I moved at all, he would be gone.  I got about 30 shots before he had his fill and flew away.   It was definitely a lucky day.
