Woody Woodpecker

Great shot! Only saw a woodpecker once this winter, will look forward to that blog.

had to go to wiki to find out who it is as I have never seen this kind before Great Spotted Woodpecker (Dendrocopos major) apparently does not live in North America. We have Pileated, Downy and Hairy on the Island. All 3 come to our feeder.
Looking forward to your blog.

Thanks Angie and Klahanie, very difficult to photograph, as they are so timid. As soon as you go near the window, their off. I have quite a few photos with the head and tail cut off, but I think I've got three or four decent ones to tell a little story. It will be my first blog so please bear with me.

Thanks Klahanie for the additional information. I should really do a bit more research to get all the detail, before posting the photos.

I get them too on rare ocassions always welcome! look forward to your blog;0))

Lovely to see them in the garden ... Glad you have the pleasure as well Carole.

I would love to see one of these in my garden, in fact anywhere, I've never seen one.....lucky you Alan!

We are very lucky, but we haven't seen any Gold Finches this year on the nyjer seed. Maybe they find the woodpeckers intimidating, as all the feeders are quite close together.
