Lineated Woodpecker: Calla de Gambia, Golfito, Costa Rica \u2014 We had our second Lineated Woodpecker encounter, and our first close encounter, on Calla de Gambia as we were walking a short stretch looking for birds in the wet, almost marshy, fields. He was in the trees of the \u201cliving fence\u201d that separated the fields from the road. If you don\u2019t know about living fences\u2026in the tropics if you cut a fence pole and stick it in the ground and string wire on it\u2026it will root and grow, put out new branches, and turn into a tree in a surprisingly short time. Over the years, the trees in a living fence can get quite large\u2026certainly big enough to attract a big woodpecker like the Lineated. As usual with close woodpecker encounters, this bird was busy keeping on the back-side of the tree from us most of the time, and the light was almost always behind it. They never make it easy for the photographer. Sony Rx10iv at 600mm equivalent. Program mode with my custom birds and wildlife modifications. Processed in Pixomator Photo and Apple Photos. ISO 250 and 500 @ f4 @ 1\/500th. Plus 1.7 EV exposure compensation for the backlight. <\/p>\n
