Red-bellied Woodpecker
by Steve Fink

My first visit to a local wildlife lake preserve called "Wildwood Lake". I was able to spot this guy in the wild for the first time after seeing them on my birdfeeders sevral times. I also saw a red tailed hawk flying around and several ducks and canadian geese. Here's the rest of my shots around the lake:

Very nice catch. If I had to be critical, I might consider raising the contrast and saturation just a touch.

Lovely and sharp Steve but you'd lose points for cutting the tail short.

Very nice detail. Woodpecker are hard to catch on your side of the tree.

Nice shot Steve. The dof really brings my eye to the bird. You are starting to build a nice portfolio of bird shots.
