Hairy Woodpecker



My father's keen eyes spotted this woodpecker through some dense trees and I was able to catch a shot as it climbed up! Note the particularly big beak, which sets it apart from the similar looking woodpeckers in the region. I like the way the branches repeatedly frame the woodpecker in the first shot, though it does make the image very busy.
The third photo is from Sieur de Monts! I was able to see Downy, Pileated, and Hairy woodpeckers all in the same area, though sadly I couldn’t get a good photo with all three. The pileated kept chasing the other two away!
