Hairy Woodpecker

This male juvenile is a regular visitor to my rear deck. I can actually approach him fairly close.

Thanks for stopping in.

Very nice shots, Harv. I particularly like the pose in the second shot. Very nice lighting and composition.

Sometimes you do not have to go far to get some nice shots.

Thanks for sharing,

Smart of you to put out a "photographically aesthetic" perch for him.:D

I always thought that I was doing woodpeckers wrong...because I could never get much detail. I can see by these shots that there really isn't that much to be had. I think I've seen too many over the top photoshopped versions.

Very pleasing shots, Harv.

Thanks very much, Dick. You're right. At times some of the good shots are right in front of us.

Thanks a lot, Ric. I appreciate your comments. A lot of my perches are pieces of driftwood I've picked up on walks at the lake. I have them under or beside all my feeders.
