This male Ladder-backed Woodpecker needs to go just a bit farther!
Week 4: Woodpeckers & Nuthatches

Just a little bit farther!
Knock, knock.
Nice that it’s focused on the little red-head!
I can hear him tapping just looking at your photo!
Lovely photo – captures just a hint of wind which makes the hunt for food a crucial pastime. Well done!
Great capture!
Keeping a close eye on dinner. Very nice photo.
He’s adorable! Wish I could give him a birdie hug. Guess I’ll have to settle for a peck on the cheek. 😉
Nice red mohawk – picture composition is cool too! xo
Nice shoot. I love the red-head and the black&white feathers. Seeing her/his waist, more lavour would be needed.
Great composition for this shot. The woodpecker, on of my favorite birds, is lovely and well defined. But I also like the texture of the tree bark! Lovely natural shot.
I just love redheads — especially little industrious ones.
Good catch of the bird catching dinner at least hopefully! Could be a little brighter. It has come to my attention that young, amatuer birder-photographers are competing with both older photographers as well as professional photographers. I would like to suggest having 3 categories — amatuers up to age 18; amatuers beyond that age; and professionals. It seems this would level the competition.
How wonderful! A beautiful picture of this lovely bird.
