Red Headed Woodpecker at the Suet Feeder

I was surprised to see the Red Headed Woodpecker at my suet feeder this morning. It's so close to the house and window over the kitchen sink I didn't think this shy fellow would venture near it like the other birds do. But there he was! I grabbed my camera and took some pictures even though the window needs a good cleaning and the angle is somewhat awkward. Somewhat pleased with the results after a little post-processing.

@cjphoto Thanks Chris! I was far enough away from him using my zoom so he didn't notice I was there. If they detect any movement, they're gone in a flash!
