 This Acorn Woodpecker was very very busy...pecking.

Gorgeous red head!

Woody!

 This lovely is a Nuttall's woodpecker! We saw (and heard!) him a few weeks ago up on the telephone pole behind our house, but he was extremely busy all along the fence yesterday. So pretty--the red head and the amazing feathers on his back (this is the male; the female doesn't have the red head).
