Just added the Nikkor 200-500 f/5.6 to my arsenal yesterday. Today we had snow and I heard this Pileated Woodpecker in my backyard. Cropped from a 400mm 1/2500 sec f/5.6 shot @ISO 400.

nice. hard shot to get. I got the 200-500 not long ago and it's about all i'm using now for birds. i just posted some back yard snow birds today. we're in DC area.
Walter Lance used the Pileated as his model for the cartoon character, Woody the Woodpecker.
Nice bird to break in the new lens.
