[TN-Bird] Possible disaster avoided-Pileated

So, yesterday I was working in my shop when a large bird flew past the front
windows...then it turned the corner and appeared that it was going to come
inside the open door!  It was a Pileated Woodpecker.  I let out a *gasp* and
it turned the corner again and flew to a nearby tree.  I'm glad I was
standing near the door because it could have been a disasterous
situation....I've got thousands of dollars of stained glass inventory
hanging everywhere--I could just picture my inventory getting wiped out and
the bird getting seriously injured trying to make its way out again.
Now, I've had hummingbirds come into the shop and get confused by the
windows.  I've had great luck so far in that I am able to capture them
carefully with my hands and move them outside.

I'll be installing a screen door real soon!
