Finally found a White-headed Woodpecker that didn’t hitch around to the back side of the tree the second I raised my lens.

A red-bellied woodpecker and a white-breasted nuthatch say #HeadsUp as they show the red (reddish) belly and white breast for which they were named. #BirdOfTheDay #birds #backyardbirds #birdphotography #WoodpeckerWednesday #ECK 🪶
A red-bellied woodpecker stands on a wooden railing facing the camera, but with its head tilted to look up to the left to show off its bright red cap. You can also see some of the red belly for which it is named. A white-breasted nuthatch stands on a wooden post in profile facing left, but with its head twisted to point its beak up to the left. It shows off the white breast for which it is named.

I hear it's #WoodpeckerWednesday so here's an Acorn Woodpecker doing its thing.
#Bird #Nature #California #acorns #oak #montane
An acorn woodpecker pushes an acorn into a hole it made. It's doing this on a dead branch of an oak tree. There are more holes with acorns inside all over the limb.

Seems every time I take a walk in the woods, I'm running into one of these big boys.... Black Woodpecker (Dryocopus martius). So many around right now. 😀👍 #BirdingHungary #BirdsSeenIn2026 #WoodpeckerWednesday #woodpeckers #BigBlackBirds

Another one for #WoodpeckerWednesday Great Spotted Woodpecker (Dendrocopos major) trying to figure out what to do with this telephone pole. Don't think there's too many bugs in there. #BirdingHungary #BirdsSeenIn2026 #woodpeckers

For today's #BirdOfTheDay and #WoodpeckerWednesday, here's a pileated I saw last week.

I was goofing around with my old manual focus Olympus 300mm F4.5 again, and was quite pleased with how this one turned out.

Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #Black&White - any bird with Black & White plumage.

Here’s a White-headed Woodpecker from Sequoia NP this month. It’s also #WoodpeckerWednesday! 🪶

White-headed Woodpecker for Atlantic Birding’s #Black&White theme #BirdOfTheDay #WoodpeckerWednesday 🪶 #ECK
A woodpecker clutching the side of a heavily textured tree trunk. His head & chin are white. There’s a small white patch at the front edge of his wings, but the rest of his feathers are black, except for a small patch of red at the back of his head. (Females do not have the red patch)

Always a faithful visitor - at least when the feeders are filled.

Downy Woodpecker

#BirdOfTheDay #Black&White #WoodpeckerWednesday #birds #nature #wildlife #photography
A small sunlit bird with a thickly striped black and white head with a small bright red patch on the back of his noggin, a black back with a thick white striped down the center, white underparts, and black wings dotted in white clings to the side of a diagonal tree branch in profile facing left and looking just very slightly down.

Happy #WoodpeckerWednesday friends, which also coincides with the #BirdOfTheDay theme, #Black&White featuring a migrating Yellow-bellied Sapsucker I caught at the start of the month, along the Maumee River in Lucas County, OH #Birds #BirdingOH #wildlife #Naturephotographyn #ECK 🪶📷🦉
Center frame, perched vertically against a tree, the Yellow-bellied Sapsucker (juvenile or female), stopped probing the tree long enough for me to snap a quick photo.

A woodpecker is hanging off the side of a leaning tree trunk with reddiish brown bark. The bird has mostly white underparts with small black streaks on the sides and lower belly, a black crown and two black streaks across a mostly white face, and intricately patterned black and white feathers on the back, wings and tail.

📖 Hairy Woodpeckers are one of the 1st birds to recolonize burned areas. They will feed on the abundant wood-boring beetles and beetle grubs in the blackened and dying trees.

Now you know.🤘

I hike through the 2021 wildfire burn area on the north face of Aspen Peak, like all the time these days, so I now meet more Hairy Woodpeckers than I used to in Prescott. Pictured is a hungry Hairy female, which is fun to say, searching for breakfast on a charred tree.
