I am having the best time with this bit of tree trunk!

There's a cavity in that stump and this male pileated woodpecker has been dipping for the contents, which I've filled with a homemade "suet" mix of Crisco, peanut butter and cornmeal. I've also had a female pileated visiting. (She doesn't have the white stripe extending back from the beak.) Many insect eating birds have visited the cavity in this log. It sure has made the winter pass quickly watching the visitors it has attracted.

A very impressive shot for this great visitor.

Simply outstanding Isabel! I am also curious if this was through the window, if so then I guess removing the filter seems to make a big difference.

Excellent image, lovely bokeh, and very fine detail at 1600 iso.

Through the window?

Great catch! The plumage details and the colour saturation of his red crown feathers are fantastic!
