Red-bellied Woodpecker: Kennebunk, Maine, USA, February 2026 — For some reason, I rarely see the Red-bellied Woodpecker in good light. Yesterday, the sun was higher in the sky than it has been for a while, though it was still a cold February day with lots of snow on the ground. The sun cast the shadows of the suet cage across the body of the Red-bellied (you can just see the red belly), creating interesting geometric distortions, as though the bird was rendered in stained glass. Interesting? I think so. Sony a6700. Sigma 16-300 at 450mm equivalent field of view. Program with bird and wildlife modifications. Processed in Photomator.
