Happy Sunday! Today I am sharing one Red-bellied Woodpecker male up close photo that I took two days ago just because I like the image of the woodpecker.<\/p>\n

\"Red-belliedRed-bellied Woodpecker male up close \u2013 Canon R7, handheld, f8, 1\/320, ISO 1600, +0.7 EV, Canon 100-400mm at 400mm, natural light<\/span><\/p>\n

And why wouldn\u2019t I?<\/p>\n

This particular male Red-bellied Woodpecker<\/span><\/a> is sometimes skittish about coming to the suet feeder. When he does come in, I feel honored by his presence.<\/p>\n

I like the way his bill is barely open, the clear view of his feet, and how he turned his head for a few frames. The striking black-and-white feather pattern on his legs and back contrasts nicely with his creamy throat and belly, as well as the reddish plumage on his head.<\/p>\n

These Red-bellied Woodpeckers are year-round residents here. I am looking forward to photographing them with fall colors, and perhaps even some snow or frost, in the future.<\/p>\n

Life is<\/em> good.<\/p>\n
