Yellow Bellied Sapsucker

My yard trees are full of these, and Red Bellied, and Downy's. Took this with my 7D & 70-200 2.8 II & 2X extender.

Very well done, Joel.

Thank you.

Indeed, real nice, that pretty blue sky is nice too!! They are around here but just hear them all around, grand work.

Thanks. Yes the blue sky made me very happy too. The gray/white sky just doesn't give a good look. I use them, but much prefer this one.

They are a very cool bird, such bright colours

NIce shots!

Thanks Pondrader & butterfly2937. Since I am trying to get more bird pics I am starting to find out why people say, "You want as long a lens as you can afford." My 70-200 + 2x extender gives me 400mm, but I have to be very stealthy to sneak up on these guys. Even high in the trees, they are wary about people on the ground. I checked the price of a 300mm 2.8 & 400mm 2.8 that I could add my extender to. Wow, they are totally out of my price range, but how sweet that would be, either one of them.

Great set.
