  1. Defiant Red-headed Woodpecker

    Defiant Red-headed Woodpecker

    This Red-headed Woodpecker is a local rarity, and the fact that there's a pair that raised a small clutch is a nice surprise! This pair was quite active in keeping an eye on us, and this one giving us a defiant pose was a nice opportunity.

    Overheated

    It's an interesting thing to watch how birds deal with the heat; in this case, it looked to be panting to cool down shortly after it's flight in the Florida summer sun.
