This is an image of one of my resident red-bellied woodpeckers. When the red-bellied's arrive all other birds vacate the feeding station. If they dare try to get a seed from the feeder the red-bellied will relieve them of some of their feathers.
In other words ... at my house the red-bellied's are at the top of the pecking order!

Wayne, another great shot in your bird series. I am drawn to the sharpness in the woodpecker's eye.

Wow, this is one of the finest avian photographs I've ever seen. Great angle, clean background, tack sharp, and the spotlight on the head, wing, foot, and tree is just amazing. Nice work, Wayne.
