Usually I see these woodpeckers high in a tree, but this one landed on a perch near a feeder at a local wildlife refuge.

Nice pose and excellent detail throughout, Allen. This is the first time I've noticed an eye on one of these looking slightly pink-interesting.

A very nice capture of my favorite woodpecker. The whites in the forehead look just a bit hot on my monitor. But overall, a fine shot.
