Sadly, I haven't been doing much shooting recently. No good reason, and I hope to pick it up soon. We have had a regular visitor at my suet feeder though. A juvenile male Hairy Woodpecker has become a multiple-time-per day visitor. He always announces his presence with the familiar squeak of the Hairy. I'm sure he does this so that he knows that I'll come out and admire him :) Anyhow, aside from the fact that this is taken with the bird on a suet feeder, I still like it :) Very late afternoon light really helps the background color as well as the subject.

All of the EXIF info is intact. My usual workflow used here (NO noise reduction!!). I gotta get out more :(
