   I birded the trail near the Raptor Center this am hoping to see all the 
warblers that Virginia Reynolds saw.  I didnâ??t see near the numbers or 
variety that she did but I did get a great show by a Pileated Woodpecker.  He 
was working away at a fallen log pounding it with his bill and scooping out 
tons of insects.  I enjoyed watching him on the ground instead of craning my 
neck upwards!   They are usually such elusive woodpeckers, but this one 
didnâ??t seem too concern about who was watching him.    In fact, he was still 
digging and eating when I finally left.  Indigo buntings were the most numerous 
bird that I saw this morning as they were singing and flying all around me.  
Good Birding!
