Wow, that's a great shot never before seen by me. Most photos of woodpeckers are parked on a tree.
There was also a firmware to the a6300 to correct overheating when in the video mode.
You can get the upcoming Nikon DL 24-500 for $1000, or the Canon SX60 for about $500 New. Both have fixed telephoto lenses.
Those are some excellent shots from the Canon's 100-400mm. The lens is becoming very popular on this forum.
I love #6..You won't bore your friends having them to view endless photos.

Could you tell me what model number it was? Just curious.
The last two weddings I went to, the professional photographers shot Canon gear. They both had Canon 5D Mark III, with many lenses, lighting, speedlight, and of course a helper who too was a photographer. Now I know why it is best to hire a photographer. It's something they know very well.
I've never seen a mirrorless camera without a viewfinder. Only the basic pocket and bridge cameras have just an LCD, like my Nikon Bridge L840. Anyone owning these cameras should already know the sunlight problems. Owning two backup cameras, one pocket and one bridge, without viewfinder, you just deal with the sunlight problem. There are sun shields you can purchase to eliminate or lessen this problem on LCD only cameras. Cost about $25. I do like my OVF on my DSLR though. But I could get accustomed to the EVF system, such as on the Sony mirrorless cameras. I know someone who just ordered a Sony a6300, and I've seen the Panasonic GX8 and GH4 once, at past outdoor events.
Go for it. $$$$$. Like the Godfather says. "An Offer I Can't Refuse.
These are great shots of old cars. A friend had a 1940 Ford Coupe. Noticeable are those famous running boards. Same on the Plymouth I see.
After you do a factory reset, I would check to see if all your firmware is up to date despite the camera's age. Clean your sensor with swabs and fluid. And see what the results are afterwards. Yes, children can be careless, and your daughter may have dropped your camera? But most who have dropped a camera on this forum have been adults, dropping very expensive cameras like the Nikon D800e and the Sony a7r2. Not good.
I thought this was Portland, Oregon at first. There is a college there.
You can sell it, possibly for parts on eBay or to an independent camera repair shop. Depending on the lens will determine what it is worth. Don't expect to get a large amount of money for it. You are the 2nd, fairly recent post on this forum, that had a stuck lens problem. Good luck.
