Pecker of Woods

[polarbeardiggers]

it was very mild today for a winters afternoon and just could remain couped up any longer so late afternoon took a drive to the nearby park to shoot some birds with my point and shoot camera,these two are my best at a woodpecker of some kind.

Can't say that I know what species that is. Interesting. Hope someone can ID it here.

Thanks for sharing.

I believe that it's an American 3 Toed Woodpecker.

According to my Audubons guide I concur on the 3 toed woodpecker... but just in case I will wait on paulnj to confirm it.

Well then, sit still next time and quit thrashing.
