Thanks Diane...I'm so glad you liked them...and thank you for all the thumbs up! I know my friends in North Carolina have been having a rough winter...I feel bad...but it does help me not get quite as homesick ;-)

Every one is a prize winner! The ones with the tongue showing are my favorites.
One can hear those beauties before you see them. Thank you for sharing not only the photos but for telling how you did it.
You inspire me to pull out my big prime.
Were you using a tripod?

Thank you so much for your kind words Dave...they are greatly appreciated...I'm really glad to know you liked them! No...I never use a tripod....can't stand to be tied down when I'm on the move ;-)

Even with a 300mm lens, you were quite close. Well done.
Woody appears to be using a twig-tool to maneuver grubs closer to the opening.

Nice work Jan, Did I ever show the pictures of the Ivory Bill at my camp. Just kidding and if had some I would be on the cover of national bird magazine.
Thank you John...glad you liked the photos...I'm still looking for the elusive Ivory Billed Woodpecker ;-) I'll post the photos as soon as I track it down. haha

Not a woodpecker fan due to their natural instinct to damage living wood, but this set of close-ups is outstanding work. Congratulations.
Then I'm honored that you liked my photos enough to take the time to look and to comment! Thank you so much for your very kind words snapitup!
