2017 Wildlife Photo Contest

Pileated Woodpecker - male, Sequoia National Park, California., United States of America
Male Pileated Woodpecker

Species: Pileated Woodpecker - male | Location: Sequoia National Park, California., United States of America

We had been photographing this pileated woodpecker on a variety of nice perches. He moved from one to another before finally coming to the nicest one in the best light where this image was taken. He seemed unbothered by our presence and at one time was close enough that I was forced to move back to get him completely in view.

About The Photographer

Retired and now spend time pursuing wildlife and nature photography. Plenty of fun and gets me outdoors hiking and looking for wildlife subjects to photograph.
