Nice capture - I like the image sharpness, colors, and the blurred background.

Cool shot, like his expression.

Nice shot. I have never seen one before.

I think you captured the personality of the bird! These are by far the funniest woodpeckers.

Excellent, has a Boehm Bird figurine quality. I aspire to take such pictures..

Terrific image - great detail and I like the mottled lighting on this one.

Great shot, Bill. We'll have to talk offline.

Very nice capture Bill, I also have never seen one of these.

Thanks everyone. These were the first ones I had seen also. Every thing about them except the red heads is unlike other woodpeckers.
They are very noisy with a loud Raaaaaak. But I especially like their coloring. They do look unreal.
