Pale-billed Woodpecker (Costa Rica)

[Glenn Bartley]

I thought these guys from the lowlands were pretty cool. I've seen them several times before but had a pretty cool opportunity in April with one that was coming in to a fruit feeder :-)

Great image Glenn...not quite an Ivory Bill (or Imperial), eh (darn it). I'm wondering if this bird COULD be mistaken for one of those, seen from far away and only for a fleeting moment. Perhaps they are smaller? Well done.

[Karl Egressy]

You are right Glenn, it is a pretty cool looking bird, well photographed.

[Nick Palmieri]

Very cool looking bird. Nice capture. Nice job!

[Sanjeev Aurangabadkar]

Awesome bird Glenn, well done and TFS.

[Greg Oakley]

That's a cracking bird Glenn, and lovely image,
Cheers, Greg
