Red-bellied Woodpecker

The weather here has been horrible....snow, sleet, rain, cold and wind. Yesterday was the first decent day in the last week....and probably the last that I'll see for another week. I'm swamped at school and in a panic mode as there's less than 2 weeks before my kids take their AP Biology test. I came home to work and looked out to see all my woodies so I decided to take a couple of shots. I know some don't like closeups but I couldn't resist when she was looking in my window. This looked better last night than this morning....must be sleep deprivation and old age!!

This is the "Eddie Bauer 4 towel method". I loaned my tripod to the art teacher to shoot slides of student's work for their portfolios so I had to stack up 4 towels on the window sill and shoot.
