Blending In

The yellow-bellied sapsucker blends in so well with the tree trunk...only the top of his bright red head stands out. We had a few minute break in our rainy day today and I was able to get outside and grab a few shots.

Wow- it really does! I love seeing its red head from this perspective! Fav! (I hope you get some sunshine soon!)

Awesome

[Joan Robillard]

Good capture

[Walks @ 7]

Impressive!!!! Fav! Are these beauties in the same 'family' as woodpeckers?

[Babs]

Wow if it wasn't for his red cap you wouldn't spot him at all would you.

[Casablanca]

That is amazing!

[Islandgirl]

Great shot of the sap sucker!

[Shutterbug]

Except for that red head, it would be hard to see.

[Carole Sandford]

He certainly does blend in! Great capture!

[Milanie]

He does camouflage well - except for his red head :)

[Taffy]

Love how you've captured the blending-in. Makes for a strong composition.

[Christine Sztukowski]

He sure is blended

[Paula Fontanini]

I love this composition...blends in so nicely with the tree but yet it's still quite detailed.

@joysabin yes they are in the woodpecker family. Here is a link to 8 types of woodpeckers in Georgia if you are interested… there are some good photos identifying male and females and comparing amongst the types: https://birdwatchinghq.com/woodpeckers-in-georgia/
