I would've backed up, but was shooting through an open bathroom window. The range was 25' and the image is cropped only slightly for aesthetics.

The bathroom? LOL! Thank you all for your enthusiastic comments. Likes are ok, but I thrive on the written word. We’ve had as many as four in the yard at once, in years past. I’ve never had much problem approaching them; like most woodpeckers, they seem most trusting. They are a nifty bird and I’ve been able to watch them excavate a cavity at close range several times. Al

Thank you most kindly, John. For the most part though, I have found them very approachable, almost to the point of being oblivious of my presence. Al
