Red-headed Woodpeckers are pretty rare around here. I was happy to see that a pair returned that struggled with Starlings last year. This year there are no Starlings in sight, fingers crossed. 

This one used a hole in a tree to eat this black walnut.

Excellent angle, I like that you can see the talon on the far foot.

Super shot Axel. Another vote for that talon. Sometimes the little details make a large difference.

Nicely exposed image of a classic woodpecker pose. Good eye contact and the nut shell is a plus.

Great shot Axel!  So glad to hear that the woodpeckers have returned to that habitat.
