Observation details
I was walking on a trail when I heard a loud Pileated behind me. I turned around to see this guy about 30 feet away barreling down the trail directly at me at eye level. It startled me a good bit. The bird swerved at the last second and landed on a very nearby tree and I got off one quick shot before he realized he wasn’t comfortable being that close to me and took off calling loudly again. The picture isn’t a good shot but it certainly captured the fact that he was as surprised as I was.
