I seems I'm doomed to happen upon difficult shots. This woodpecker showed himself asIi was getting in my truck at the park. Had to open camera, get set, it was very misty, bird was about 65 ft straight up, and I had to bend practically backward to get a shot. Prayed that it would work. It did. Had to do high pass sharpen and color vibrancy to bring it out. Nikon coolpix, cropped very closely, original is 6.1 mb, 4608 x 3456 px.

Beautiful shot - so pretty too.

Very nice shot of the Red-bellied woodpecker czkid. We have the Greater and Lesser spotted and the Green woodpeckers here in the UK. The Green being the largest is size.
I've only had the chance of one distant shot of the latter.

Given the circumstances, excellent. Ed.

I've been trying to get the Pileated woodpecker. Have seen holes like they make in the pine trees, but haven't seen one for a long time. They get as big as crows. At one time they were endangered?
