Stunning photos.

I love Pileated Woodpeckers.. we have one who swoops through our yard regularly.. but I’ve never gotten a photo. Shy birds, nicely done!

I was very excited a couple of weeks ago when we had a flock of cedar waxwings clear out our mountain ash tree: http://ourfunwithfive.blogspot.com/2012/08/cedar-waxwings-our-15th-anniversary.html

There’s a very nice Big Moose Lake and Moose River in the southern Adirondacks, too!

I love your description, within trumpet range. I think I might have heard your trumpeters early this spring when I was doing a grouse survey on 24. There must be a pond or small lake back in the woods. Did they have any young ones?

People feed them. They seem to tolerate the hundreds of mallards but they must drive off the geese, there were none. I also encounter them living within trumpet range of my little shack on the Vermilion River near Buyck.

I love them! So beautiful to see all summer long.

They capture the beauty of that scenic area. It always strikes me that it is so green over there. The moss is sometimes referred to as “Canadian carpeting”!
