My DBF is a semi-serious birder; bird photography and bird blogging are two of his favorite passtimes. I occasionally accompany him on his birding outings, and on a recent trip to Morton Arboretum outside Chicago, I was fortunate enough to snap this handsome guy's photo.
This is beautifully composed; it shows off the bird to its best advantage.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous detail and Bokeh'.

ReplyDeleteHi Val,
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! Looks like a red-headed woodpecker. Have a great day!

Well seen and nice capture
ReplyDeleteThis is wonderful. A really great capture.
ReplyDeleteNice! I love that his beak is open, a happy woodpecker/sapsucker. Another place I used to bike to along with Brookfield Zoo. There was one scary busy road but I think now it is all great bike trails.
ReplyDeleteI love his website...tell him although I have not been commenting much, I stop by his blog often! Awesome capture!
ReplyDeletePerfect framing and backdrop to showcase this beauty! Great on the fly shooting!
