Pileated Woodpecker Sighting

I was on my patio in Lafayette yesterday afternoon. Heard some noise and spotted a pileated woodpecker on a tree only 20 feet away.
I was able to get a few pics on my Iphone, but not much detail. It stayed a short while and flew to two more trees in the yard.
The only other time I saw one was in Boyce near Alexandria twenty five years ago.
How often do you guys see them? Any stories?

Fairly common up here in my part of Virginia. Beautiful birds and LOUD.

In-laws live in Ruston city limits and we see them there quite often, mostly during spring

I see them 3-4 times a year around my house in Abita. First time I saw one I was surprised at how big they are.

See them all the time around my house in Thibodaux. Pretty cool looking bird.

I see them all the time when hunting/fishing the basin.

Really cool bird.
I love hearing them sound off when I'm hunting.

They are common in the Basin and other swampy areas in south LA

I had a pair on one of my game cameras May a year ago in Giles County, TN.

Quite common here in the woods of North FL. I see or hear them just about every day. Compared to other woodpecker species these guys bring the heavy machinery.... I'm always in awe when watching chips fly from them working a tree/excavating a nest.

Saw a pair on a light pole on 5/15.
Near the swamp tour off 55 in Laplace.
