A gallery worth being seen. I see woodpeckers infrequently but I recognize their weird call so I know they are around. Thank you for sharing their life cycle images. Big vote.

Allan, These are absolutely wonderful images! A tough bird to capture but you put together a great gallery of behavioral documentation. Thanks for sharing.

As you are permanently saved in my 'favourites' list I always look forward to seeing your latest work. These are particularly fascinating images for me as we do not have woodpeckers here in New Zealand.
Well captured.
