Observing
This eagle was just to the left of the woodpecker on the 13.2kva lines. I tried to get closer but I spooked him moving closer. FYI the woodpecker was ~ 18" below the 13.2 power lines.
Mr 13.2K
I captured this Pileated woodpecker just pecking away on the top of the 13,200 KVA power pole down at the park. You can see one of the support line in the background. Reall blew my mind to see this and you can see all the holes he had pecked in the pole.
