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.
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.
