I got some more ladder backed woodpecker images (click on images for a larger view). I got about a dozen, these are the ones I liked best. The images were taken in late afternoon, the sun was low and came right under the tree branches to lighten up the tree trunk, bird feeders, and the woodpecker.

Also, fellow birders, I found a nice site for you to check out. BirdPost. My user name there is dagnyg

male ladder backed woodpecker

This male ladder backed woodpecker is hunting for insects on our Ponderosa pine tree. The female does not have the red cap on her head. Last year I saw these often but have not seen any for a while until today. Click on image for a larger view.
