Pardon My Obsession 3I2286
Until two years ago I had never seen a red-headed woodpecker in the wild. We are on the fringes of their range and despite occasional reports of sightings I had never been that lucky to have found one. That all changed last year when a pair chose to nest nearby. They had a successful brood and this year I have a pair nesting 10 meters off the back of my home. They are best viewed from my roof, putting me almost at equal footing to the nest. Pardon my obsession but due to their presence and the rivaled presence of so many other woodpeckers this year, I find it difficult to go elsewhere to photograph wildlife. This beauty landed not more than 4 meters away, at the top of my suet tree, seeming to be little bothered by my presence. I am hoping for their success. #RedHeadedWoodpeckers
