Two-headed Woodpecker [Contest Finalists January 2010]
Uploaded: January 25, 2010 19:26:27
I spotted these two baby pileated woodpeckers when I was working. I came back the next day, (my day off), and set up. I was there shooting from 8 am until noon. I think this picture looks like a two-headed bird. I cropped it for symmetry and a yin-yang sort of harmony.
6/11/08, Missouri, Tokina 400mm lens, 1/200 second, f/7.1, ISO 400.

Wow! Thanks for the generous comments everyone. The pileated woodpecker is one of my favorite birds. I call it the "Woody" of woodpeckers. #8331691Clyde Smith February 19, 2010
