I was literally wondering what my post would be today, when the hubz came and asked me if I wanted pics of a woodpecker...yea right, HERE?! I decided to humor him, got my camera, switched the lenses...slinked to the glass door...whoa! She went here and there and I thought I'd missed the photo op, GRRR...few moments later I saw her in one of the poplar trees. And she began to hammer on one of the thin branches...this is her taking a rest actually...I was able to squeak the sliding door open and take shots...
...She was just wailing on that poor little branch...
...From all angles...

What a cutie. I seldom see them here in the late summer. Wonder what yummies were in that branch she wants so badly?

I believe she was posing for you!
ReplyDeleteLooks like a small woody Jann. How big is it ( cm or inch's will do :-) )
ReplyDeleteWarren, I'd say head to tail she was 7-8" or 18-21 cm. Could be an almost full-grown juvie.
ReplyDeleteDon't you love it when surprises are pleasant? Great shots!
