This is a great bird & an excellent capture. I like the way the red berries accentuate the red on this woodpecker's head. The ones I have are very camera shy :)....so good photo. Thank You.

I agree with Mimi. This is a beautiful shot. You were lucky to have seen him to begin with. Around here they are really shy.

Chased him down?...looks like you were in the tree with him!. Wonderful capture - perfect focus, excellent framing by the small branches. The red berries accentuate the red head of the bird. Great shot!!
