Nature Finally-a red bellied woodpecker.

Finally-a red bellied woodpecker. · 02:54 PM

He came close to the house and I grabbed the camera with the Pentax 18-250 lens attached and had time to take only a couple of shots through the kitchen window.If I had the Bigma attached you know he wouldn't have landed there while I waited.Lucky can be good.

The last shot is in the K5's posterization filter mode for a different look.--charliezap

Very nice Charlie! I think this is the one bird easier to photograph in the woods than at a feeder. Not saying that's easy or that you will get as close. I think they have more of a grab and go mentality at a feeder.

Capn, you're quick on the draw - which pays off in terrific shots like these.

Nice capture Charlie.

Don't see these guys often in my area.

We are going to be colder than normal for the next several days so I would think that that birds will be around more often.
