Three-toed Woodpecker


Today we made an excursion into some local woods to look for the three-toed woodpecker. The snow was much deeper than in normal years so I decided to stay back a bit and concentrate on the snowy forests rather holding everyone up. However, Daniel soon came back to tell me that the woodpecker had been sighted and was very close. So I made my way through the snow to meet Michael, the local expert on woodpeckers, and he kindly helped me through the waist high snow to get photos of the bird really close. I have a lot more images of this little woodpecker but, with a quick look, I chose this one as his beak is free of background distractions.
