I thought I'd share a few pics of a woodpecker I got the other day.

Third shot is the best n this set, from my vantage. Good work - I know from experience that downies are hard to photograph if don't have a suet feeder out to bait them. Suggestion: try toning down the hot spots in the background.

Thanks. I like the third one the best myself. I had to stay very still to be able to get these shots. I guess all those years of hunting paid off. I am going to be using more calls, feeders and prepared perches in the future because it is SO much easier. Birds just don't like to let me get close in general. Thanks for the suggestion also.
