Woodpecker on House

Sol @ the title ...

Title block again, Ken - what can I say??

Very sharp. Good one chance grab.

Exactly what I was thinking ..... (-;

 

 

Nice shot btw - the exposure, being backlit with that nice rim light is well done. Not many bird shots with them standing in the vertical position either. Most living creatures preferring the horizontal position.

 

At first I thought "flicker", then had to look it up - "Golden-fronted Woodpecker". Nice catch. Hope to see more. Possibly another dedicated folder? BTW, the weather is breaking here and birds are returning - stay tuned...

Thanks, everyone. You have me worried, Ken - I'll have to see what I started. Bryan, looking forward to the bird shots. We went out today and got some wildflowers - haven't even looked at them yet.

Excellent capture!

I'm not sure that catching him on the house is a good sign, but he looks handsome here.

Pawel, it is NOT a good sign - we have a wood house, up on stilts, and the woodpeckers try knocking every once in awhile. When I noticed where this one was, I realized I had a clear shot from the livingroom (not THAT clear, I guess, as the outside window wasn't spotless!). Thanks for visiting.

A lucky grab through the livingroom window. Comments?

Wonderful bird portrait

Thanks for commenting, Giuseppe.

I wish I had your vantage point. The soft lighting and delicate colors work well with the muted background. I particularly like the touch of backlighting outlining his form.

This was just a fluke, Donna - normally I see these guys off in the trees and never up close. This one I heard knocking and when I went around the corner in the livingroom, there he was! One chance and that was it.

it feels "plane". Not really colors. Maybe in black and white?

Maybe, Rodrigo. I can try it in B&W and see how it looks.

Very nice shot and good light! Congrat

Thanks for visiting, Fausti!
