I didn't know that had a split tail feather...or am I just seeing things?

Pretty good looking noise maker there.

LOL. Have not heard that in a while. Good pic there Mike. See or hear them around here often.

Thought I was going to see a pic of a wood duck, not a red belly.

Good pic.

They don't. He must have lost his middle quill. They use that as a 3rd leg to leverage as they climb and pound on the trees.

Funny stuff Mike. I was expecting a wood duck too.

Lots of those fellas around here. Sure make a racket when you're deer hunting. Out of hundreds of acres of trees they have to pick one within 20 feet of you and rattle away.

Yes, they do make a racket. I shot him through a closed window. Couldn't really hear him.The cool thing about wood peckers is that they always seem to be happy.

I have some wood duck pics if anyone is interested.
