Great shots of a woodpecker which normally flies away when approached. Your images are really nice and sharp. I wonder how they know there is a worm/bug inside the wood. Do they smell them or do they hear them?
Thank you Don...I'm so glad you liked my shots! I'm not an expert on Woodpeckers...but I think they use both their eyes and their ears...when the knock on the tree they can probably tell whether it's hollow there or not.
