The Shock of Contact: Pileated Woodpecker (Dryocopus pileatus), Drumming on Electrical Pole
Hair-raising! Feathers rise up at the instant of contact, finally captured, the luck of the draw. His drumming is way way too fast for me to decide which pose I want. Upper Alpine Road just past the Lauriston entrance gates. 10/17/2021, 8:42:35 am. 1/1000 sec. exposure, f/4.0, ISO 640.
