This female hairy woodpecker was taken in a wildlife garden in the city. We saw more birds that one morning than I saw all of last spring. There was a feeder close by and the birds were taking turns at it. I waited for the bird to settle in a nearby tree and took this shot.

Nice Belinda! Woodpeckers are always moving, making it hard to photograph!

Nice capture, Belinda. I know there is controversy about feeding birds, but I think they deserve a handout. I think they agree!

Thanks Anneli. I was lucky that this bird paused in the tree. The others swooped down for seed and we’re gone as quickly.
