I captured this image along Lake Apopka Wildlife Drive, Apopka, Florida. When I rolled up on this bird it was working on the large circular hole. Seeing the vehicle it scurried up the tree trunk, looking to see what I was. Comments and critique welcomed and appreciated. Thank you for viewing.

I do like the boxy crop better. For me, the photo tells the story :) I think that brightening the bird a bit would improve it.
