With Zeiss 85mm scope and CP 4500

I shot this into the morning sun. This bird has a partialy raised crest and was displaying with another male a few feet away.
Our group was watching the birds display. This bird decided to take a break from being pretty and snapped this meal out of the air.

May 2003 Competition Entry #1
Location: Montgomery, TX
Date: 5/11/03 3:05pm
Camera: Canon D60 w Canon 300 F2.8L IS w 1.4X
ISO: 1000 Exposure Time 1/2000 F-Stop 4.0
Noice reduced using Neat Image
Taken from a distance of about 7 meters this male Red-Bellied Woodpecker was using this small cavity to hold sunflower seeds from my feeder for shelling. Though this photo barely shows a shelled seed at the end of his beak I thought it better illustrates how he was using the cavity than others that showed a full seed away from the cavity, or only a sliver of a shell flying from the opening. He made several trips from the feeder to this same spot.
