medam961 from Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina

How you managed to take such a lovely photo? That woodpecker reminds me of the most famous one from the cartoons. We over here call it “Pera Djetlić” :-)) Great shot; I simply love it!

@medam961: These woodpeckers are pretty big, a lot bigger than European woodpeckers. They are very colorful and noisy. Thank you for your comment,
Wolfgang

Bruno Simard from Canada

Superbe photo Johanne, belle couleurs. Ca ne doit pas être facile à attirer un pareil oiseau. Il est bien plaçé dans la photo avec la règle des tiers. Il y a seulement la queue qui est légèrement coupée et un peu plus d'espace au dessus de la tête aurait été bien. Mais je te comprend, il faut faire vite dans ces occasions. Merci et ca a été un plaisir de te rencontrer hier.

leslie from Bruce Penninsula, Canada

another great bird capture. Is that a piliated woodpecker, it looks so big.

10 Jan 2008 3:01pm

@leslie: Yes Leslie, it is a pileated woodpecker. Johanne caught it just outside her house feeding on her suet and grains feeding station.
Wolfgang

Levine from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

Like the way u compose it and the part where u tilt the camera. And may i know what is that bird eating?

10 Jan 2008 3:15pm

@Levine: Thanks for the comment of Johanne's photo. It is feeding on suet and grain that Johanne has outside her house to attract birds.

Gilles M. from Canada

Comme d'habitude, cette photo d'oiseau est superbe

Scarabaeus from Manchester, United Kingdom

Interesting bird what kind of woodpecker is it?

10 Jan 2008 8:05pm

@Scarabaeus: In French it's called pic majeur or grand pic, in English it's a pileated woodpecker. They can become pretty big, between 40 t0 50 cm, and they live from the southern Yukon all the way to the southern tip of Florida, anywhere there are forests.

Ale Triskele from Italy

Merci beaucoup pour tous les beaux commentaires, Thank a lot !! Merci Bruno pour ton commentaire, j'apprecie tes conseils et moi aussi heureuse de t'avoir rencontrer.

@johanne prescott: Il ne se passe rien pour rien dans la vie !
Tu vois, ta longue expérience à nourrir nos oiseaux te rapporte.

Si ce grand pic se voyait, il serait sûrement bien content :
c'est son meilleur profil ;-)))

Cette image est une des premières que tu m'as acheminée,
elle attendait juste le bon moment pour être publiée.
Bravo Johanne, continue de photographier ton monde !
