I've been taking photos of these woodpeckers for years now and, try as I might, I can never get a photo of one taking off. The undersides of their wings are a brilliant coral color, or sometimes a beautiful golden yellow. When I see one taking off I get so entranced by the gorgeous color that I just stand there with my mouth open and by the time I remember to lift up my camera, they're gone! Someday...
They are so quick !! I love this bird. It is so beautiful.
ReplyDeleteHave a great day.
Oh, I'm so envious!
ReplyDeleteHe's beautiful! And to think you see woodpeckers in the flesh, errr, feather! :)
Woody Woodpecker used to be my all time fave cartoon.
Lucky you :)
I love your photos, Victoria. I get to share in a little bit of a wondrously beautiful part of the world - your backyard!
Eilis, you're right, they are very quick, and so beautiful.
ReplyDeleteOh, but Vicki, I saw the amazingly beautiful photos of the birds on your Australian blog...such colors! Ha, I think we're envious of each other!
I'm glad you both liked the photo, thanks!
