This Red-Belly Woodpecker only shows up about once a week and usually swoops in, lands on the back side of the feeder and then flies away. Yesterday was the first time in nearly a year that he finally hung around long enough to get a few shots of him.

Nicely done. I especially like the backgrounds--they really allow the bird to pop out.

Care to share your camera and lens settings?

Thanks Larry. All were shot with Pentax K-x, Sigma 150-500 handheld at f6.3 and 1/125 (through a window, btw). Shot at 370mm, 440mm and 310mm respectively.
