Hedmark Installment X - Three-toed Woodpecker

I've got lots of photos to go through of cabin birds and too little time so here is the last of my prepared earlier posts....

Three-toed Woodpeckers are birds that in my experience rarely reward you for hard work but instead just turn up in your face when you are least expecting this. And this was exactly the case with this female which started drumming beside me whilst I was carrying out a bird survey and then proceeded to show off at ridiculously close range.

Three toes (only) are clearly visible
