The Hairy Woodpecker is occasionally seen in the Vancouver
area, if you're fast enough! These lively birds do not migrate.
We made several attempts to capture an image of this female who
kept moving about trying to have a meal. Since a digital camera
was used, we were not worried about wasting film - as we had space
for over 100 exposures in the camera's memory card. We have
another image of a Hairy Woodpecker
in our Gallery 9, but it is actually more a composition of
trees than that of the bird.
Note: This image is a crop from the original image. The entire
frame of the original image is shown on the right.
