Awakened my slumbering camera today. The birds seem to think it is
spring already but they are almost certainly in for a surprise. Captured
this Goldentailed Woodpecker at work in deep shade on my Oak Tree
(Quercus Robustus) this morning. It managed to hammer all the bark off a
dead branch in its quest for a snack.

Cool shot. It looks like it was super technically challenging with it in shade backlit by bright sunlight.

Thanks, Larry. It sure was. Ended up with a whole lot of purple
fringing. This was the best of 10. We commonly get two species here -
this one & the smaller Cardinal. More often heard than seen. We will be
going into the Kruger Park on Sunday for the first time this year.
