Mr Pileated Woodpecker at Work!

This guy was making flakes fly as it was pecking away. Tried to get under it, but there was just too much debris falling from the tree as it pecked away.

One busy woodpecker! Very nice captured, nice details of all the stripes on his head.

Beautiful focus and bokeh.

Lovely background for him - their pecking is quite loud if I remember.

These birds are a bit prehistoric looking to me--so cool!

lovely capture ...

What a photo op you had. Interesting that your being so close did not deter him from his work.

Beautiful! In the right place at the right time, with the right lens!
