Description

Doesn't he look like a golfer who has just blasted out of a sand trap? Male Red-bellied Woodpecker tosses seeds helter skelter looking for his favorites. This was taken in early May during the first few days that I put seed out. This Woodpecker liked stirring the pot:-) Thanks for all your comments and favorites. Bill:)

I'm slowly catching up and I'll get to your other images in the next days...but as I'm doing "spot comments" right now, I had to tell you this is a small masterpiece. It takes a lot of time to be this intuitive with animals, and a lot of devotion (born of "listening" so to speak, getting to know their moves & gestures & language). Yes it looks like he just teed off on the 14th hole (lol), but he of course is looking for his favorite food. (Kind of a sloppy way of getting to the 'good' stuff—other people are eating, for god's sake!) But it's a great pose, you got all those food-pieces flying, and even his stance looks like he's balancing against his big 'whoosh'. Your bird photography is one of several series I adore in your gallery. I'll come back for more after I sleep a bit...stay well, I'll be putting in a word to the Higher Ups for you. I may not post much now (now that I got over the big 'hump', lol), but I'm gonna come back to commenting everytime I can. A definite fav, this is a wonderful shot, sir Bill!
