Woody Woodpecker


This is a Pileated Woodpecker that I followed yesterday afternoon in one of my favourite parks. After pecking and banging at one tree, it would move to another and repeat the noisy process and then move to a new tree. They are difficult to photograph as the head usually comes out a little blurry because of the fast, continuous movement. Really, a stunning bird. I wonder how they don't get headaches! Of course, this is the bird on which the cartoon character, Woody Woodpecker, was based.
