On a cool and blustery morning at Huntley Meadows Park, it seemed like most of the birds were in sheltered locations yesterday, protected from the biting wind. I did manage, though, to spot a Red-headed Woodpecker (Melanerpes erythrocephalus) busily at work high in the trees and was able to get shots from a number of different angles as the woodpecker moved about.

I especially like the first image with the colors in the background.
Thanks, Dan. That is my favorite too. The wind was blowing the trees in the background and I was thrilled that I was able to snap the shutter release when the colorful leaves came into the frame.
I’m with Dan on this one. The golden leaves really offset the wonderful red head.
