Description

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.

Exif: Model: Canon EOS 20D

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