I love those big guys. I would see one of them up a tree eevry now and then as a kid. They make a ton of noise too.

I noticed the piano keys on the woodpecker's wing too! I've never seen one of these birds in person. . . this picture is just awesome.
My husband turned me on to your site last night, and I was so mesmerized by your photos I had to look at every single one. Just beautiful. I look forward to checking in every day.

What an amazing capture. It looks like you panned slightly to get the woodpecker in focus while it was flying.

amazing. not only the bird was perfectly captured in movement, but also the idea of precision of its flight through the labirynth of branches of the tree.
