Here are a couple shots of one of my favorite birds. This pair of Golden-fronted Woodpeckers were taken out in west Texas. Thanks for looking.

+1 on #2 the bird is great but that wood detail is a pic in itself.
Thanks for sharing.

I'm not sure why but I love to see a bird perched on an interesting piece of wood and #2 is certainly that. Great job.
