(I believe this to be a...) female Hairy Woodpecker
...kind of tough to keep my woodpeckers straight!
EDIT: ...this is in fact a Yellow Bellied Sapsucker?!!

Surprise walking around my street in the gloom this afternoon - a Red-legged Partridge (R5/100-500 iso 6400). It wasn't scared at all and so I guess it might have escaped from a shoot.

My only knowledge of the partridge comes from the Christmas song. And is the song wrong?
Do partridges not live in pear trees?!
…and actually prefer the ground?
Do Partridges Really Live in Pear Trees?
Here's the truth behind the turtle doves, French hens, and other birds in the famous song "The Twelve Days of Christmas."

Nice shot…a nice demonstration of the close-focusing ability of the RF 100-500 lens?

Sparrowhawk - ISO 6400, Canon R5 , 100-500mm. There was a time not long ago that ISO 6400 would have meant the photograph was destined for the bin. The improvement in ISO performance have been amazing

Beautiful images. I love Kestrels, such a beautiful bird with an amazing ability to hover.

I love Sparrowhawks. iso6400 on the R5 with PL6 or Topaz is like 1600 10 years ago on a DSLR FF.

One more: Carolina Chickadee
...Northern Cardinals were also seen today; the songbirds were all around. If only I had consumed one fewer libation perhaps I would have been quick enough to capture it
