The Red Headed Woodpecker may be the most striking of the 6 different woodpecker species I have recorded in my back yard. I always enjoy it when they show up and are willing to pause a moment or two. This was a very cloudy morning and I had to push the small pixels of the 5DS-r up to ISO 3200 but it worked. I did do a gentle noise reduction only on the background.
