Surprise visitor

We were just getting ready to leave East Potomac Park when this northern flicker suddenly appeared and posed for a few pictures.

Best to view in "Original" or “Auto” because other versions resized by Pbase are decidedly unsharp.

The color-loving butterfly, posted earlier:

Nikon Z 7 ,Nikkor AF-S 300/4E PF ED VR with FTZ adapter
1/400s f/5.0 at 300.0mm iso100 full exif

other sizes: small medium large original auto
