This male Downy Woodpecker was very cooperative in posing for me today. I can't say the same for my Red-bellied Woodpecker. I've been trying to get an upside down pic of him for the theme. He doesn't even want a rightside up pic taken this week. LOL!

Thank you so much for your nice comments on yesterday's bird pics!!! :0)

I do have a pic for the theme and it's not a bird! :0)

Gorgeous catch on this one . . love his colors! Beautiful textures. Just wait . . I'll just bet you're going to get the Woodpecker upside-down before the week is over. :)

Beautiful!

absolutely gorgeous! I have been chasing a Red-Bellied Woodpecker too but he flies from tree to tree hiding behind branches.

Q: do you use a tripod and what type of lens are you using? Your bird photography is stunning.
February 17th, 2012  
I love the composition. Beautiful bird
February 17th, 2012  
If you get him right-side up, just twist him around!
February 17th, 2012  
nice framing, very sharp... as usual ;)

@amberasburynutl Thank you! I don't use a tripod for my bird shots. They move around too fast. I use a Canon 75-300mm zoom lens. :0)

Great focus on this. I've had both male and female at the suet feeder but can't get a sharp picture. And the Red Bellied Woodpecker flies away when I approach the window. This is beautiful.

@angievega Thank you! I haven't seen a Northern Flicker here yet. I really want a pic of a Pileated Woodpecker. I saw one once from my kitchen window, but it was gone by the time I made it outside. ;0)
February 17th, 2012  
Keep trying, and I'm sure you will manage to get one.

Awesome shot of him!

I agree with everyone above! They have said it all! You are so good at this and I know you will get the upside down shot as well! Beautiful pic that I think will end up on PP for sure!
February 17th, 2012  
Brilliant shot a fav
February 17th, 2012  
I just read that you're not using a tripod! You're focus is stunning! I know I didn't use a tripod when I went to photograph the bald eagles - and then maybe about 2 percent of my shots turned out in sharp focus. Great job!!
February 17th, 2012  
Grrrr - *your focus* - not you're.
February 17th, 2012  
Wonderful shot! I like how their little feet just grab that bark and hand on!
February 17th, 2012  
That's a good posing bird! Awesome pic!
February 17th, 2012

Beautiful capture. He is so sharp and so is the trunk with the interesting textured bark. Nice dof.
