This is a Red-headed Woodpecker recently taken in Huntsville, Texas. I was looking out the kitchen window and noticed some frequent visits from a couple of these beautiful birds. Their colors are vibrant and stand out. Hard to pass up an opportunity for a few captures. After setting up it didn’t take long before they came back for a visit. There were other birds in the mix but these were the stand outs that I had been wanting to take for some time. Between all the rain we have been having here in south Texas it was a good weekend.
