Description
Ladder-backed Woodpecker At the Top by Debra Martz This little woodpecker gave me a run for my money! HA! From tree to tree and back again. Finally deciding on one tree but deep in the limbs. I kept wishing it would move out on a limb so the view was not so obstructed! And boy did it...all the way to the very top. I could hardly keep my balance with my head tilted back as far as possible. It also gave me a slight nod that allowed my to see a very small patch of red on its crown leading me to believe this is a juvenile...male or female...as both have some red at this stage. The adult male has a much larger red crown while the audlt female does not.

Nifty snap, Debra! Its camouflage with the stem of tree it is perched on is intriguing. F/L.

Wonderful photo of a Ladder-Backed Woodpecker, with great pose, clarity and perspective, Debra! Some of these birds really give us photographers a tough time, and I know this very well!! F/L
