Willamson's Sapsucker-very close up view of female's head

I am quite proud of this photo which provides a very nice and crisp close-up. I think this handheld shot is almost as good as one taken using a tripod, something I don't often use since many birds are not going to wait around while I get set-up to photograph them. This is also manually focused, which again is how most of my photos are taken. The bird's bill has bits of wood from the pine tree it has been drilling. SeEtta
