Male yellow-bellied sap sucker...

I wish I could've gotten a sharper image! I should be happy it's not as bad as most of my bird shots. Info on this woodpecker here - https://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Yellow-bellied_Sapsucker/overview

They are such fun to see, aren't they!

Great capture. I find woodpeckers are usually at an awkward angle to take a decent shot.

That's a great shot Mags even if it's not pin sharp! I've never managed a good woodpecker shot - I reckon you need to be really dedicated to catch them.

[Mags]

@janturnbull LOL! Yes, and take 1000 shots and hope for one good one. Thank you, Janet! Please don't be a stranger. =)
