Had seen this guy in the same tree when we walked for a few days, so decided to take along the camera to see if I could get lucky. Very graciously and patiently posed while a got a few shots off. Even went so far as adjust his position so I could get different angles.
Starting to feel like I'm finally figuring some things out. This is one of the first sets I've been pretty pleased with the way they turned out.

Great photos, my Red Bellied Woodpeckers are on the back side of the trees sticking their heads around the tree in the shadows.

Thanks for looking. I didn't know what species they are. When I looked on line after you guys posted it, almost all of them seem to have pretty much just black & white coloring on their back. The yellowish tinge on this one's back is actually the color of the bird...not a camera color issue. Long before I got back into photography, I'd seen several of these here, and they all have that tinge to them.
Ironically, of maybe 200 images on Google I scrolled through, the only one that had a bit of that coloring was also on a palm tree. It would be interesting to know if it's related to a minor genetic adaptation to diet/environment, or if maybe it's just simply a "stain" . We've seen where they bore into the Coconut palms to make nests, and maybe it's related to that.
Still trying to get some shots of the indigenious (sp?) Cayman Green Parrot.

Excellent shots of a very skittish bird. Your lucky he's not banging away at your house. They do lots of damage.
