Absolutely beautiful Andrew. They are tough to get close to and out in the light. Great work as always.

Terrific shots, Andrew. And 3 tough colors to expose properly! Very well done.

wow, that red is wonderful, and so are the shots Andrew.

Wonderful shots Andrew!

I have one spot where I can consistently find these guys but they are hard to get close to. Excellent pair of shots Andrew.

That's funny I have a couple shots just like that. Great shots Andrew

Very nice! I tried to photograph this species yesterday and couldn't get anywhere near enough. Great photos.

Oh my Andrew, these are beautiful. I see one around here every once in a while, but never within camera range.

It is indeed a difficult woodie to capture. Congrats on such a beautiful images Andrew.

Fabulous!!!!

Wow, those are seriously wonderful, Andrew. Wow again.

Well done Andrew. Congrats on the find.

Beautiful shot Andrew... getting to be a hard woodpecker to find.
