Another wet Bird

Spot on focus and sharpness. Juveniles are fun to watch and shoot, especially the response to first seen ordinary objects (and watchers), where the base line response of flight has not yet been strongly developed.

Thanks Phil'
Green Woodys are wierd birds anyway !-very reptilian like somehow.

Your pond seems to be a gold mine, John ! Green Woodpeckers are very shy (at least here), so all the more a shot to be happy with I'd say. Cheers, Hans

It is interesting, how they figure it out, John.  Yet our experience is that it's usually the juveniles that first figure out something new.  A beautiful species of woodpecker and your detail is superb.  Well done.

I like the pose and the detail is good.  A nice habitat shot.

Of the several images you have recently posted, I am fascinated by this one because of the subject.  This is an amazing woodpecker with otherworldly colors and patterns.  I've never seen one and you've done a terrific job with detail and color rendition.  When I think about natural adaptation I've got to wonder when I look at this bird...

Outstanding John! 

Thanks people.
Appreciated.
