The Red-bellied Woodpecker caught my attention with his noisy chatter. Love that bright mane!

The Downy Woodpecker makes a noise like a squeaky toy. This one seems to have found a tasty tree.

VJ, that shock of red hair makes the first one look like a rock star, a drummer most likely. Keith

Great captures of the woodpeckers! I always enjoy their percussive accompaniment to bird song in the woods.

Cryptic

Is the writing on the wall so cryptic?Graphic images depict rageflames of dissonanceyoung men bleeding at their own handscompassion incapacitated.
