Saw my first Pileated Woodpecker at Fort Wilderness. For those that aren't familiar with it, it's a very large woodpecker, the kind Woody Woodpecker is based on.
First was the salamander with the squirrel. Then the deer. We saw this group 3 times. In all fairness though, we kind of followed them from where they crossed the road. Then I went back into the loop and saw them again. Then I figured they were coming out to the fields by the main road and we saw them again. They were so beau tiful and I felt like I could almost go up and pet them. (Of course I didn't). They let us watch them for awhile until some idiot came by in his car and yelled distracting things. Still it was pretty cool to see.
