I've been enjoying this series. Neat interaction. I'm thinking some off the top would work nicely. Thanks for sharing images of this event you witnessed!

Great series and a great interaction here in this image.
The woodpecker looks a bit soft on my monitor.
I like the wing pose of the Starling and the look on the woodpeckers face.

Great interaction Judy! I haven't been here lately so I'll need to go back and check out the rest of the series. Thanks for sharing.

Really enjoyed this well photographed series. TFS!!!!!!! We get many Flicker here during migration , but never saw this type of conflict with the many Starlings. Probably because the Flicker don"t nest here.

Great series Judy. Is the top bird a flicker, as the colours look different.
