Caught on his Run Up the Tree

And it's usually a pretty good run - no dawdling around! Glad he chose the front side for a change.

Such a handsome fellow with his black and white barred back and red head. Beautiful capture of him on the lichen-covered tree, and nice look at his sharp claws. Such a pretty picture with the blue sky behind him. Lots to love here.

Lovely depth in this and his 'hairdo' stands out beautifully from the complementary greens in the branch behind him.

Awesome shot. We had one in our backyard a couple years ago and he spent most of the time on the backside of a big tree. What is up with that?!
