Description

It's taken me a year to get a close woodpecker shot. Big surprise to see it's a totally new woodpecker for me - The Ladder Backed Woodpecker. I heard the sound of him knock-knock-knocking and turned around and clicked into the morning sun. Backligting required a good deal of editing. I have a clearer shot of his face, but that head pattern is so very impressive, I had to choose this one. As with all bird photos, details are much better zoomed. Thank you all very much for your kind views and comments.

Now a Ladder-Backed Woodpecker! Who would have thunk it? A pretty variety of that particular species, albeit most odd compared to the other generic woodpeckers I've seen, which hasn't been too many. Nonetheless, fabulous focus employed in this shot of the many textured avian and victimized tree trunk, Marie.
