Some more pix from this past spring. A Hairy Woodpecker was invading this girl's space and so she was always on the lookout. Thanx for looking.

Really like the pose and lighting - white breast & belly have a warm, slight yellowish cast on my monitor but this may be what you wanted.

Brian.

Very nice pose and BG on this. The pose and perch seem to work better than the normal tree trunk perch shots these birds specialize in.

An absolutely beautiful shot. The woodpeckers are my favorites at the feeders. A great pose and excellent detail.
