Hairy Woodpecker.

"New yummy suet...........just what I wanted."
Two hairy woodpeckers showed up around here about 3 days ago and are hanging around. They are in competition with the Downy woodpeckers we have. But these guys are bigger so they win out. Thanks for dropping by my project. 11/17,18,19PP

What an amazing close-up. I've yet to get a good shot of the woodpeckers here. Well done Myrna!

[Myrna O'Hara]

@tara11 The trick I've found is to place feeders, suet, etc. closer to my house windows and get a big ass lens. Then you can always crop it and make it look even bigger. Easy steps to more shooting fun. LOL

[Tara]

@sailingmusic Sounds like a plan :). Thanks!
