oh lucky you! i had just finished looking at images of woodpeckers trying to identify a bird, and then i see yours. it's just as good.

My son watches Little Einsteins and there is an episode about woodpeckers. The bird's name is Tapper. I will be sure to show him this beautiful shot tomorrow and let him know that you met Tapper. =)

Wonderful capture of a beautiful woodpecker!

Beautiful capture! I love the colors and the seed (?) he has in his beak.

[Doug Gray]

No wonder you have so many following you. The clarity of the photo, the colours and the perspective is great.

@bethanyjay Ah, that's so sweet....Tapper in this case sounded more like a Jackhammer as he was attacking this tree! :) Thanks again for always leaving such nice comments! :)
