I was flying my Phantom 3 drone above our rental cabin in Gatlinburg, taking pictures  of the surrounding countryside. I heard hammering coming from the cabin next door. I thought someone
 was there working on it. When I looked I saw a pileated woodpecker on the front porch post. I flew to within 5 feet and it didn’t seem to bother him.
