We were in the North Georgia Mountains enjoying a beautiful Waterfalls when my wife spotted this Wood Pecker. He had found a nice colony of Termites and wasn't going to leave for a while. This is just one of the shots I was able to get.

A friend of mine & I have a little competition going as to who will get a good capture of one of these first.  He's in upstate NY and I'm in KY with some friends that have a nesting pair on their lot.  heheheh  I think I have the edge.

Nice shot.

Nice-looking bird!  Those haven't graced me with their presence here in Japan...

Gary I think Steve won that contest!!!!.  Steve he is a beautiful bird, you have caught him well!!  Way to go!

 Nice shot Steve. Which lens were you using or was it a scope?

I often hear the drumming, but rarely see them.  Great shot. 

Thanks everyone. I believe I was using my 70-300-Nikon 5.6 VR. I was very close to the Bird and this lens gives great detail when you enlarge the main subject. My other Lens is a Tamron 200-500 5.6-6.1-Telephoto. I have a wonderful Nikon Speed light that I use with this lens that usually brings out the detail and doesn't give the picture a Flattened look. The Lens with the Built in 1.5 becomes a 750mm Telescope. I have a new one ordered. The other one froze up on me. But for the amount of pictures I take, I got my moneys worth. Thanks for all the comments and may the Lord bless & keep you.

 Thanks for the info Steve. Very nice of you to share.

That's why I love Photography. You can share whether you've been around a long time or if you're just a newcomer. I like competition but also love just to admire others work and see if we can learn from each other. Good Birding & May the Lord bless & keep you.
