Another Yard Woodpecker

[ChasMcRae]

These birds in the yard normally move around high in the trees ,however one year they moved low near the water feature to drink water.
They were nervous and very aware of me.
Hope you enjoy the woodpeckers and comments on the pictures are helpful to me.
Unfortunately can not get the Pileated Woodpeckers low when they come through the yard.

Amazing looking species and there can a bit more space on the left, any way I love this image

Awesome bird. Nice looking bokeh. A little more space above would take this picture to the next level

Charles, you have exposed all three colours on the bird excellently. I would have maybe left some space at the bottom for the rest of the virtual tail.

Lovely shot!! Love the detail and sharpness, BG and perch. Maybe some more room at the top and would have preferred to see the perch in focus.
