Such beautiful birds, but they can act foolish when they get tipsy from eating too many old, fermented berries from eastern red cedar trees.

Red-bellied woodpecker with what has become my standard rig for bird-feeder work = Pana G9 + Oly 300mm f4 & Oly 1.4X TC. The catchlight on its eye is actually a reflection of the big picture window of our study, with the camera positioned at the right-side swing open window.

We don't have any those fancy trees in these parts, so the local Cedar waxwings (and suddenly I'm seeing a lot of them — not sure where they came from) should be safe for now.
