I didn't notice him sitting on the deck because he was partially hidden by the grill cover. One of the dogs came up on the deck, and I saw he was very curious about something under the grill. I took a closer look, and saw the dog nose-to-nose with this woodpecker, who was sitting very still. I brought the dog into the house and snapped off a few quick shots before trying to figure out what to do with the bird. We finally got him to hold on to a broom, and carried him to a tree, where he quickly climbed high out of our reach.
