Acorn Woodpecker, male, flying with acorn

Arastradero Preserve

This was my first good picture of an Acorn Woodpecker in flight, with the added bonus that the bird was carrying an acorn as it flew away from the granary tree on the slope below the Wild Rye Trail at Arastradero.

Canon EOS-1D X ,Canon EF 500mm f/4L IS II USM
1/5000s f/5.6 at 700.0mm iso1600 full exif
