Mike Dale Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 Recovering from a stinking cold I was photographing out of my window at my bird feeder. I had filled the log with my own style peanut butter/fat/seed mixture and it wasn't long before these showed up. The first is a Red-bellied Woodpecker, the second is Downy Woodpecker. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Dale Posted December 25, 2018 Author Share Posted December 25, 2018 Excellent Shun. I’m going to have get down to Costa Rica sometime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShunCheung Posted December 25, 2018 Share Posted December 25, 2018 For those who enjoy bird photography, Costa Rica is an excellent destination since it is located in a narrow area connecting North and South America, a lot of migrating birds need to fly through the land in that narrow area. Hence its concentration of birds. There are also diverse areas inside Costa Rica. The lowland on the Caribbean side is very tropical and you can find a lot of parrots, etc. The cloud forests have their own species. I found those acorn woodpeckers in the highlands in Costa Rica, but we have them here in California also. Last year we went with a photography group that visited various regions.

Mike Dale Posted December 27, 2018 Author Share Posted December 27, 2018 All these Pileated Woodpeckers. I’m jealous, I’ve seen them in the yard twice in 18 years. I’d love to get a nice picture of one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Parsons Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 If you blow up a small image to extremes, couldn't you get a 'Pixellated' woodpecker ? Sorry 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
