Woodpecker

I went on a bird hunt today, shooting with the camera of course. I went for a nice little walk outside (thank goodness for under armour) this afternoon. The wind was strong all day, and driving home from work, I noticed the birds had a strong presence so I grabbed the camera, layered up and took off on a 4 mile hike. The first few miles didn't get me much more than windburn but after awhile I finally was able to get close to a few birds. I saw quite a variety today but I was most excited about catching this guy. He flew across in front of me and then came around the tree and I was patient enough to get some good pictures of him. I had a great time out on my own in nature, a good way to start spring break for sure!
