Red-Bellied Woodpecker 55629

(Melanerpes carolinus)

As usual for me in bird sanctuaries, the birds heard that I was going to be there
and all left for somewhere else, because this was it for birds we saw,
except for one of the very rare North American Robins and wildlife was limited
to the equally rare North American Grey Squirrel.

Photographed at the Audubon Bird Sanctuary on Dauphin Island, Alabama USA.

1/100s f/5.6 at 300.0mm iso400 full exif

That seems to be how it goes. But I'm usually stubborn enough to go back until I get something.

Very nice capture. Sorry the birds aren't cooperating.
