Wonderful shot! We have one that comes to our yard (I think it's the same one), and he doesn't seem to be afraid of us. We can get quite close to him.

Well captured...and a male. I've only seen a couple of little females. Husbands may be out at the golf course:)

Spectacular capture of the spectacular textures on both the elusive birdie and the tree bark, Maria! I was under the impression that woodpeckers had relatively long beaks. Love your background blurring which generates great contrasting.
