Thanks, Hal. Yes, this is a really classic and typical stance for them.

Missed these over Easter, Terry. A fascinating study. lnteresting how they developed the muscles to the tail feathers so make a 3rd support for the body in this awkward position. Great image.

Thanks very much, Elaine, Pete, and Janice!

And what a pretty fellow he is too. We don't have woodpeckers in NZ, so I enjoy seeing yours

Good the it revealed itself just enough to get this one

The light is perfect for this shot, Terry, he looks a very determined fellow about to get on with his business!! Great work.

Thanks Michael. Yes, nice to have some light for sure, although this was taken in a fairly dark setting - story of my life :)

Superb clarity in good light. About time you got some spring light. Maybe now we'll get some.
