   For those of you viewing this pic, here is a bit of history for it. We had four large pine trees die in close proximity to the house. Rather than have them cut down completely I left 25-30ft especially for the woodpeckers. We were blessed this year with not only this family of Pileateds, there is also a family of red-headeds on the opposite side of the tree a few feet higher. Being good stewards of nature reaps big rewards, keep this in mind next time you need to fell a tree…all this activity is within 60ft of the house…gotta love it. God is good.
