It's a busy BG but it's the best I could get. It was interesting getting to him with snowshoes on but for well worth it.   Pileated Woodpecker by claudeallaert, on FlickrC&C always appreciated and welcomed Thanks for looking, Claude GEAR- 7D, sigma 17-50, 100-400L,430ex II

Really like him on the birch trunk One day I was walking on the street and somebody handed me a camera. I looked at them and said, "This is not a Canon, what do I look like? A charity case?" So I took it, and THREW IT ON THE GROUND!

Getting w/in 30' of one of these on snowshoes (not the most graceful method of travel) is impressive in it's own right; pulling off such a great shot even more so! Mark
