While visiting and enjoying the beauty of full bloom azaleas at Brighton Dam Azalea Garden two days ago, I came across a pileated woodpecker hopping from tree to tree looking for food. It was such a great opportunity to photograph this beautiful bird in relative short distance with my 400mm lens.





Beautiful bird and great shots !
Thank you, it was a rare opportunity to shoot this beautiful bird with my Olympus E M1 II camera with 12-200mm lens.
A beautiful bird which has eluded my lens, not counting the silhouette of one far away!
Isn’t he handsome! Wonderful photos of him.
He’s a beautiful bird and I was glad to spot and track him for few minutes to capture these precious pictures.
Some nice closeups! This bird has eluded me, so far!
Thank you, I was very lucky to come across this beautiful bird in my camera range. I’ve seen them in my backyard in a distance tree.
You’re welcome! Glad you had the opportunity, and shared the photos with us.
