Flicker in a Tree

This woodpecker was busy building a nest in a partially dead tree in my backyard. He stopped pecking when he noticed me and my camera and gave me this pose.

Nice eye contact with this capture. With a nest nearby you may have some nice opportunities for more portraits.

Thanks Alan; comments appreciated!

Nice shot Larry. You can really see how the tail feathers need to be strong to brace him as he hammers with that bill.

That's so awesome! I love woodpeckers, and you have one in your backyard? That's so cool!
