20130314 146 Black-backed Woodpecker HP.jpg

Ottawa West

Another shot of the female which I've seen quite a few times now; however, the male is still eluding us after looking/waiting for it for the past five mornings. Two days ago, two of us had spent several of hours looking for it, then decided to go for a coffee. On our return, a hiker we met at the parking lot said "I just saw the male and female together back at the feeders, but they are gone now." Just our luck, but that's the way of birding and bird photography.

Nice one, Hank! I am convinced that coffee is the enemy. When I drink it before shooting I get the shakes and need to find a restroom QUICKLY
