Hairy Woodpecker

Hairy Woodpecker, back deck feeding station, Kennebunk Maine

Yet another shot from my mixed feeding flock experience on the back deck last week. The Hairy Woodpecker is a size bigger than the more common (in our yard) Downy, with a correspondingly heavier beak. This specimen was on the rail of deck, looking up longingly at the suet feeder. 🙂 

Sony RX10iii at 600mm equivalent field of view. Program Mode. 1/250th @ ISO 100 @ f4. Processed in Polarr on my Android tablet. There was a large green feeder pole running up through the image just to the right of the end of the bird’s beak, decorated with worn strips of  Duck Tape no less…which I was able to remove entirely using Handy Photo.  It worked so well that I really did not have to tell you that…but there you go…full disclosure. 🙂
