Looks like it is having a rough season. I've got a pair that come every year and nest.

A very lovely shot of this gorgeous Woodpecker.

My goodness, hasn't he grown up to be a fine fellow Curt!!! A super picture you've taken of him.

I don't know how I missed your youngster when you posted him before, we don't have one in Opus, so I'll upload that picture to the article later. Many thanks for pointing us in his direction.

Nice capture Curt. Actually this is the bird I have been chasing. Didn't know we had another youngster in the area.
