A very handsome bird, even when hanging a little inelegantly from the feeder, Mary.
Mary MacADNski: They are quite large and heavy for suet feeders.
Ah what a beauty! We have the red-shafted- very much the same, but with a red mustache and underwings. I love these birds! I anticipate tomorrows photo!
Mary MacADNski: I love watching them fly. They are instantly recognizable.

un bel exercice d’équilibre !
Mary MacADNski: They are too large for these feeders but do their best to get a treat.
great capture
Mary MacADNski: Thanks, Chantal
A unique view Mary... Such a pretty bird.
Mary MacADNski: The clean window of a friend provided this great view.
A fine looking bird Mary. Some very substantial claws too!
Mary MacADNski: They are quite a bit larger than the variety and in the woodpecker family so they need those talons to hold onto trees sideways.

Excellent capture Mary
Mary MacADNski: Thanks, John. Right place at the right time.
I love those spots--kind of like a peacock.
Mary MacADNski: Birds have the best dress-up looks.
Fantastic close-up Mary....what a beautiful bird....looking to tomorrow's posting....petersmile
Mary MacADNski: I don't see these at my feeders. This is in the city.
Fabulous capture. I love the look of determination in the eye
Mary MacADNski: He's spinning around the whole time which is why I was able to get several views.
This is lovely Mary. He has his beady eye firmly on the prize and clings on for dear life!
Mary MacADNski: He's spinning around the whole time which is why I was able to get several views. I have another very different view tomorrow.

Even better than Monday's image. What great detail you have here, Mary. I like the determined look in its eye(s) to get to the food. I like the tail up approach, too!
Mary MacADNski: They are distinctive looking as you will see tomorrow.
