I could hear this Red-bellied Woodpecker working in a dense tree above the walking path and finally spotted him as he changed position.

I couldn’t see what he was getting but he was quite intent…

twisting around for a better reach.

After a bit he flew to a nearby tree…

…then even further away.

So delightful that you were able to follow him!
Thanks, Carol. That one was a neck-breaker, for me…I had almost given up.
