I love these !

I had a very active female here in the Spring but she decided eventually to nest across the track in deeper woodland.

Well caught !

Thanks, Pam. I don't know exactly where these are nesting. There are many dead pine trees here (bark beetles), so there is lots of opportunity.

A wonderful catch. I've tried so many times to shoot a woodpecker, but it always seems to disappear as soon as I have my camera. This is great.

I know what you mean. They tend to hide on the other side of the tree or just fly away. When I first saw this one, it was on a big dead tree in the sunshine, but it flew back into the forest to this tree.

Merci beaucoup, Lydie. Having these big woodpeckers is the positive side of the pine trees being killed by beetles.

In my land, pine trees are killed by caterpillars...

Thank you for reminding me that there are pests that we do not have here. Best wishes.
