Beautiful 🖤❤️🤍❤️🖤, but he looks like an elephant compared to them 
Your right, that was the surprise, I had been concentrating on shooting these little guys and all of a sudden I had this behemoth stretching across my viewfinder, completely unexpected for me, he didn't stay long. The Hummers didn't want anything to do with him.

Nice set. I bet the hummers don't like him much.
He only stayed for about 5 minutes or so. He flue from the feeder to the tree and as soon as he was gone the Hummers were back. He did visit twice in three weeks. He was quite bold, didn't mind me setting there 10ft away shooting pictures.Paid little attention to me.

Agree, Hairy Woodpecker. They have a long enough tongue that they can get nectar/sugar water from the feeder!
Thanks, I thought it made an unusual picture anyway.

This is a Hairy Woodpecker that crashed the Hummingbird party.
I have seen other Woodpeckers do the same thing

Thanks for the ID. I was quite surprised to see something that size hanging off the feeder.

Yesterday I posted The Humming Bird Party, but they had an uninvited gate crasher, and instantly all the Hummers were gone. I know this is a wood pecker,but not sure of the name.

Thank you, it was amazing, they never hit each other, such flight accuracy.

I am 83 years old and have been trying to get a good picture of a Humming bird first with film, then various digital cams. My dog Howard and I just spent three weeks camping in the White Mountains of Arizona, near a beautiful little town called Greer, where I found a group of hummers having what looked like a party. Here is my latest attempt at shooting a Hummers Party.
