This is what happens when one takes a break from the main subject, and turns around. I think this is a junenile. This individual was cracking acorns. In the second photo you can see a small piece of the acorn flying off to the right. It appears that the top of the snag is storage for acorns as well. Could someone help with an ID?
Originally posted by GvilleRick It is a juvenile Red-Headed Woodpecker. I've seen lots of them near here at a nature preserve. Here's a shot I got recently.
Thanks GvilleRick!
The first image is taken with the K33, HD 1.4x, and 150-450. It is cropped to 4000x3000 for comparison with the Q7. The second and third imamges are taken with the Q7, IR remote, Pentax Adapter, and DA 300mm. Manual focus with the 300mm is a challenge Since the bird returned to the snag repeatedly, I pre-focused, and hoped it would hop into focus.
