Woodpeckers are one of my favorite subjects. It seems that there are a lot of Redbellied, both male and female in the area, and they are pretty willing to come to a bowl of nuts, or in this case a small bowl of dried mealworms. This is a spring time photo, and I'm looking forward to the fall and winter possibilities.

12 commentsNice clean background contrasting well with the reds in the woodpecker. I like the diagonal perch. Good detail and sharp eye with catch light.
I like the interesting pose you caught.
Nice one, Jerry. It's a really cool pose and the image quality is superb.
Hi Jerry,
I like the pose, colors, and soft BG. Red Belly's are very photogenic and this one is no exception. Well done

Sharp details, great comp, colors, & BG with a terrific pose Jerry..
You just can't ask for more than this!
Impressive on all counts, Jerry. Technique, composition and image quality are very good indeed.
Cool pose and sharp details are what I like about this shot Jerry. Excellent backgound too. Image IQ is very good!
Excellent rich colors and detail with a nice bg here Jerry, good to see you posting again
Jerry,
Great capture the pose is wonderful, as is everything else
Great species to be able to shoot up close like this. Techs are well done! Cheers, Hans
A Simply Sweet Photo Jerry!
You captured a great pose of this beauty on a nice perch and a very nice compimentary background.
I really like the pose and the contrast from the BG really makes the woodpecker pop off the page. My only little though is I wish you had stopped down a bit more to get the entire perch in focus. Not having that doesn't take away form the image, but I do think it would improve the image. I'm not sure how deep the perch is or how far away form your BG the subject is, so hard to say from a viewer perspective if that was possible without ruining the BG bokeh.
