Jurassic Park?

[Bill Dix]

I know it's not the classic woodpecker pose of my recent post, but I thought this was sort of fun, as an alternate view. The May Apples in the background, looking like giant trees, and the Velociraptor-like stance of the male Pileated Woodpecker, gave it a prehistoric look to me.

Looks interesting for sure, Bill. I like the expression on the face.

Bill:

I def. see where the title came from!

Not a common woodpecker shot, on the ground. Good low angle helps make it work.

The large stub in front of his face is mildly distracting, and in a perfect world, would prefer not to have the shadows on his side and neck, but I still find it an engaging and different image.

Cheers

Your right it certainly has got that prehistoric look about it, your description is spot on, thanks for showing us something different Bill.
