I found this woodpecker building a nest in my eves earlier this week.



Well, this morning I found them both in the backyard jumping from limb to limb. I'm hoping there will be young ones to shoot soon.

That last one is really nice lighting. Was it taken in early-morning?

Hi Alex,
Sorry my EXIF data is missing. I am still trying to track down what I am doing that is stripping that data from my user gallery photos.

I took this photo about 10:30AM Saturday morning. The first shot was taken late afternoon and I forget to change the WB for the warmer afternoon light.
I think I'll go back to Auto WB for now.

Very nice to see a red shafted flicker!
