| Red-billed Woodpecker - Melanerpes carolinus; Horese Cove, Alabama |
While I was shooting Tufted Titmice last week I observed a
Red-bellied Woodpecker fly from a sunflower seed feeder to a nearby snag. The red-bellied was partially hidden behind
foliage, but I could see that it was stashing seed in a crevice. After the red-bellied made half-a-dozen trips
to the snag I repositioned my camera to try for a shot. After raising and lowering the camera, moving
it left and right I finally found an opening that gave me an unobstructed view of the bird. Like clock-work, the red-bellied flew in,
deposited a seed and turned to strike this perfect, woodpecker pose.
