Very cool images, Eddie. I really like the behavior shown in these two and the focus is excellent. The light is a bit harsh and if the highlights aren’t blown, I’d think about pulling down the exposure toward the bottom of the tree where it gets really bright.

I agree nice behavior shots. I like the top one best. For that photo you might think pf a vertical pano crop removing more of the tree. It is amazing how fast the heads move about.

Nice capture. Tough light but exposure seems fine on the bird. Agree with Dennis about tree.

Hi Eduard
It tock a couple of looks but, finally grassed that the Sapsucker was doing just that. Nice shot under vary harsh light.
