Holy white woodpecker, Batman!

Check out this big, beautiful, white pileated woodpecker:

FYI to all you non-birders: Pileated woodpeckers usually have way more black on their backs and wings. This is probably a bird with leucism, or partial albinoism. This bird was found in Big Woods, near the area where the Ivory-Billed woodpecker was found...oh, just read the article.
