Next species from my trip to the Brazilian parts of Amazonia. This is a Red-necked Woodpecker, a big amazonian Woodpecker related to the Pileated Woodpecker in North America. We worked to get a decent shot of this species for two full mornings. My best chances came from a canopy tower when a pair came to attack a hawk that landed just in front of us.
All comments welcome!
