red-breasted sapsucker

[squirl033]

these little birds really seem to love a particular birch tree at the park near my house. they come back again and again during nesting season, and offer lots of nice photo ops... 40D, 400mm, various settings...

Cool. Neat to see the holes that this bird makes to get to the sap.
