"BACK OFF BUDDY!"

Female Pileated WP was feeding on bits of suet that had fallen to the ground when a squirrel approached a bit too close. The squirrel ran for the trees when she flared her wings. Too bad I was not prepared and had zoomed in a bit too much so I didn't get both wing tips ....

Some very nice pictures this week. The nod goes to Brant's "High Ground". I like the very dynamic position of both birds and the fact that they are looking at each other. Thank you all for a very interesting week, I had to go back and forth a few times to chose a winner.

[NFLD Stephen]

Congratulations Brant! Great choice.

[Jayson]

Congrats Brant!

Hey, thanks everyone! I was definitely pleased to get that series of shots. I am really impressed with everyone else images as well. Mark even made a shoe brush look good!
