woodpecker

A medium-sized, green woodpecker with streaked throat and scaly whitish underparts. Green above with yellowish rump, white supercilia and white and black moustache. Crown red in male, blackish in female. Tail dark and plain. Small, dark bill.

From the same series as earlier in the week.

Sub-adult male. Uncommon resident breeder of Singapore. Settings: 640mm ISO5000 1/250s f/8 0EV.

This little one was trying to hide from me, but I got a picture of him anyway!

These two were sharing the feeder at the Hudson Gardens

Inside the dark rainforest, I was lucky enough to locate it after hearing some drumming sound for a while. Then a shadow flashed across the trees in front of me which enabled me to find it not too far away eventually.

I was excited to spot this little guy down near the river.

It was unusual for to see this woodpecker perched on this sign. I was happy to come upon him taking a rest!

We have an abundance of Downys in the yard, and this one in particular likes to visit the dead limbs on my orange tree. Late fall, he will even peck at my oranges.

He was drinking from the knot hole he is perched on in the photo. Every few seconds, he would hop back down and drink some more.

Female.

I love these birds. Seldom do I get a chance to get close enough to get really good detail, considering my equipment. This guy seemed to be willing to give me a chance, although, he wouldn't let me get as close as I would like.

First and only Yellow-bellied Sapsucker I've ever seen in my yard.

Perched at an old tree, inspecting the feed I'd left for the birds. Now when I go to this wood the birds come along the hedge to me and I drop feed here and there for them, they expect it every time I visit. I was so close to this Woodpecker, dressed in green I was and blended in very nicely.

I love the markings on the chest of this Northern Flicker.

looking at the world from a different angle.

I caught this Northern Flicker right before he landed on the tree as he was hopping from branch to branch. If you look close you will see his feet aren't touching the tree! Fun capture!

While visiting my daughter and her family in Colorado, I took my granddaughter on a nature walk. There were several Northern Flickers in the reserve we went to.

Male. Common resident breeder of Singapore. Settings: 640mm ISO400 1/200s f/6.3 0EV.

Feeding at the Mockingbirds' tree late this afternoon. I don't know where the Mockers were, perhaps taking a break, or one of them would have arrived at the tree and scared him off!

Same woodpecker from the morning, the one who ate from my peanut butter cake. This time he graced me by showing me his red belly!
