I felt lucky this woodpecker paused in the open for this photo. I ended up with quite a few outtakes (like below), following her while she jumped around looking for treats in the trees.

It’s been awhile since I’ve seen one of these. Thanks for bringing nature into my windowless computer room. Always have been in awe of woodpeckers – especially that amazing beak – like a hammer for their finding goodies in bark/trees.
Seeing woodpeckers like this one reminds me of how Mom used to enjoy watching them at the bird feeders you used to have. Amazing creatures!
