Acorn Woodpecker

Melanerpes formicivorus

This male acorn woodpecker flew in while we were attempting to photograph two distant jabiru storks. It came in so close that we had to move away in order to shoot it. He was so focused on acorns in the fence post that we had ample opportunity to get off many shots. I wish birds were always this cooperative!
