I set my camera on the tripod and hid it behind the curtains, because every time I got up to take a shot of the red bellied woodpecker that has been visiting lately, it would get spooked and fly away.
Oh man, I almost got a shot of him, I ran to the camera so fast that I wasn't even focused when I took the photo.
Yeah! I got it.
Our feeders have been quiet all winter and I'm excited to have visitors again.
Nice shot!

Great! I've tried that,but patience is not my strong point. I'll just look at other's photos lol. Thanks for doing it!

I am so jealous of your woodpecker photo! That was very smart thinking to hide behind the curtains. :)

I'm in love with all woodpeckers, but mostly the Pileated. Just saw a pair swoop over our backyard last week, flying too high for a photo, but getting photos of one or two is high on my bucket list. Great shot you got!!

He is quite pretty with his bright red head. Great idea getting the camera in camo mode. :)
