Red-Bellied Woodpecker

On my walk this afternoon this little guy gave me a few photo ops. Some are a little soft as they were handheld with pretty low shutter speeds.

Nice job, Mike. I like that second comp best.

They sure are some pretty woodpeckers. We normally don't have them up here, but one was spotted at the WInter Bird Festival in Meadowlands. I have read that they have been expanding their range north, maybe we will be seeing more of them soon. I like the third one best followed by the second.

Very pretty Mike. Sure like the second one!

I've saw 3 at once in a big willow tree in our backyard, one has been working at making a home. They are just so finicky, so I'm having a tough time for a keeper.

I'm with Steve, that second works nicely.

Thanks for the kind words guys. It is appreciated!
