It was a cloudy day and the woodpecker was well off the path. I chose to do little to edit the photo as I liked the mood created by the overcast day and the tree branches in the background.
Sweet shot through a very challenging window of foliage. We see a few of these each year in Minnesota, and we’re missing the opportunity. So nice to see yours.

Thank you. They often move so quickly, it’s nice when they slow down for a minute.

I always wonder why they call it hairy when it’s feathery? 😉

A lovely picture and an interesting pose. I need to learn that only seeing part of a bird can be enough – this photograph illustrates that so well.

Composition plays a big role in my choices, storytelling can too. Thank you, Anne.
