Cities and towns are full of "wildlife". Here is a fine example of a common but beautiful woodpecker:

Nice! Not too crazy about the wire though, crop it out.

Nice, well exposed shot of a very pretty bird. I like the wire in the shot. It show that the bird is on a phone pole instead of a tree. (But that's just my POV)

Sure, I thought about that but said ... "I'm too lazy!"
I'll see what I can do ... not that difficult but time consuming!

Thanks for the reply.

All I had was a 300mm lens and this pic is already cropped 50% !!
I shot that by quickly rolling down the car window, across the street .... about 30-40 feet or so.

I gotta get me one of these 560mm ... when it does become available!

Thanks for the comment.

They have a lot of contrasty shades and that helps a lot for getting a sharp pic!
Thanks!!

I don't mind the wire either... as I mentioned earlier, this is a "city-wild" shot.

Thanks for the comment!
