Good catch! When I try to catch a woodpecker - they move to thte opposite side of the tree!

Good capture Bev... i have one that comes to the trees just outside my sunroom windows... and by the time i get out there with the camera... he's gone....peter

I am familiar with this knocking sound Beverly, but at least I will know that winter is over when it starts.

A familiar sound hereabout too Bev

HA! I can hear it now, Beverly.

bang bang let me in

We don't get them in our garden but they are round about the area. Fine picture Beverly

I can hear him, Beverly!

Fine shot - I had a friend who had to get permission to shoot one of these because it was waking everyone up at dawn by hammering on the aluminium siding of the house!

fine specimen. i have seen a documentary in which an entire family of them were residing on a single tree that had a thoroughly pockmarked front.
