Some 'Peckers from a couple of weeks ago

Great shots Harvey and as someone mentioned earlier your series is an excenllent tutorial for telling the Downy and Hairy apart.

Another great set Harv of a bird we don't get in Australia. They are everywhere but here and NZ I think. It is always a pleasure to view something we don't have and they are great catches.

Thanks very much, Lloyd. You folks have many of your own species that I also enjoy seeing.

Agreed. Man that male Hairy really shows that long beak!
We see Hairys here only rarely, and constantly wonder if any of our "longer beaked" Downys might be...

Good clear shots with excellent detail.

great post Harvey,

Kenn

Thanks very much, Kenn. As always, I appreciate the kind words.

Thank you for the WB # lesson, Harvey. I'll certainly try to correct mine to that temp and see if the colors on my backyard downys look more like yours!

I hope it works for you, Dave. Don't be afraid to play around a bit.

Super shots Harvey, I love seeing Woodpeckers. Well done my friend.

Thanks a lot, Steve. I've always enjoyed your woodpeckers as well.

#2 made me say "jesus! that's a lens" then checked out your exif. nice.

Superb series, Harvey. So much detail!

Another great series Harv. You always kick the standard up a notch with your photos.

Great shots

Love 'em all, Harvey, the 2 varieties don't mind dining together here either, always fun to see both types. Now, add their BIG brother and get all 3 in 1 shot - that's your challenge!

Thanks a lot, Ian. That has always been my challenge. I never see the big guys here.
